Minding the Queen's Eggs [Explored 28 May 2025]
Each of these wax cells is filled with royal jelly, and a single egg. The queen bee can lay over 2,000 eggs in a single day, and each egg is then watched over by female worker bees, like the one in the photo.
Special thanks to Janice Mercieri at White Mountain Apiary, who invited me to join her when she checked on the hive health of the hives at Tarrnation Flower Farm in Sugar Hill, New Hampshire.
