About the Honey Bee. Honey bee eggs vary in development time: a queen will take 16 days to hatch, a worker 21 days and a drone takes 24 days.The worker bees are all female and begin life in the hive as a nurse bee feeding the brood (larvae), keeping the hive clean and regulating the hive temperature by fanning their wings.fter about 3 weeks, when its wings are strong enough, the young bee begins its life as a worker, foraging out for nectar. It will live as long as its wings are capable of carrying its body weight in flight, usually around 35 days in summer.
