Alien Queen B

First drawn in 2000 where the planned coet that crashed on Pangea, was inhabited by Aliencreatures. One of them is the young "Queen Bee" who picked her spot and began to repopulate until a blooming city Hive emerged and evolved.

To her:

While she survived the crash along her fellow Alien creature friends, she landed a bit off from the crashpoint and found a nice area where she slowly began to rebuild it all. Alongside of 22 other bee s alongside her.

Info Bees

The majority of a beehive consists of female worker bees. Worker bees are the smallest and most numerous members of the colony. They perform a wide range of tasks essential for the survival and functioning of the hive. Some of their responsibilities include:

1. Foraging: Worker bees venture out of the hive to collect nectar, pollen, water, and propolis (a resinous substance used to seal cracks and crevices in the hive).
2. Nursing: Young worker bees care for the developing brood (eggs, larvae, and pupae) by feeding them royal jelly and pollen, cleaning cells, and maintaining optimal temperature and humidity levels.
3. Building: Worker bees construct and maintain the hive's wax comb, where the brood is raised and honey is stored.
4. Guarding: Worker bees guard the entrance of the hive, inspecting incoming bees and defending against intruders such as predators or rival bee colonies.
5. Cleaning: Worker bees remove debris, dead bees, and other waste materials from the hive to maintain cleanliness and hygiene.

Male bees, called drones, make up a smaller portion of the hive. Drones have larger bodies and are specialized for mating with the queen. Their primary role is to fertilize virgin queens during mating flights. Drones do not participate in tasks such as foraging, nursing, or building.

The queen bee is the largest bee in the hive and is responsible for laying eggs, ensuring the colony's reproductive success. While the queen is essential for the hive's survival, she typically makes up only a small portion of the total population, as her primary function is reproductive rather than maintaining the day-to-day operations of the hive.

1. Worker Bees: Worker bees make up the majority of the hive population, typically accounting for around 80% to 90% of the total bee population. In a large colony, this can amount to tens of thousands of individual worker bees.
2. Drones: Drones are male bees and are present in smaller numbers compared to worker bees. In a healthy hive, drones typically make up around 5% to 15% of the total bee population. However, their numbers can fluctuate depending on the time of year and the reproductive needs of the colony.
3. Queen Bee: There is only one queen bee in a hive. She is larger than worker bees and drones and is responsible for laying eggs. The queen's population is limited to a single individual per colony.

The queen bee typically mates early in her life, shortly after emerging as an adult. Mating usually occurs during one or more mating flights, where the queen leaves the hive to mate with multiple drones from other colonies. These mating flights typically occur within the first few weeks of the queen's adult life.

During the mating flight, the queen will mate with multiple drones from different colonies, often in mid-air. She may mate with as many as 10 to 20 drones during a single mating flight, although the actual number can vary.

After mating, the queen stores the sperm from the drones in a special organ called the spermatheca, located in her abdomen. The stored sperm will fertilize the eggs she lays for the rest of her life, allowing her to produce a genetically diverse brood.

Once the queen has mated, she typically does not mate again for the remainder of her life, which can be several years. However, if the queen fails to mate successfully during her initial mating flights or if she loses the ability to lay fertilized eggs later in life, she may go on additional mating flights to mate with more drones and replenish her sperm reserves. Overall, the queen bee's mating behavior is crucial for ensuring genetic diversity within the colony and for maintaining the reproductive success of the hive.

But since this is no ordinary Bee (since Alien creature more) some things are.. different.
