Sexual life of honey bee:-
Scientist Albert Einstein said that if bees became extinct, the earth would be destroyed within a year. The word has a wide range of meanings.
The bee is a wonderful example of God's mysterious creation. There is a surah in the Quran called Bee. In verses 6 and 79 of Surah Nahl (The Bee) Allah says:
"Your Lord has commanded the honey bee: Build houses on the hills, on the trees, and on high houses."
"Eat of every kind of fruit, and walk in the open paths of your Lord. Drinks of various colors come out of his belly. There is a cure for mankind. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought."
Information about the sexual life cycle of bees:
The sex of bees is a bit exceptional. A bee has only one queen and there can be many male bees or drones. It takes about 18 days for a queen bee to become an adult. And male drones take 24 days. When the queen reaches puberty, she engages in sexual activity which is called mating in English. The bees are mating and flying in the air. The queen flew into the sky before the meeting. Male bees also fly behind. There is competition among men. One of them may be reunited with the queen. Male penis after mating
(Endophallus) does not come out anymore. Then the man gave up hope of his penis and separated himself. Then the penis along with the lower abdomen of the man is stuck in the body of the queen. As soon as the man is separated, he becomes weak, falls to the ground and dies.
Then other men also want to take the opportunity to fly the same. In that case the man has to remove the stuck genitals or endophallus of the previous man from there. Then the new man can meet. A similar thing happened after the meeting. Then if any other drone wants to join again, it has to work like the previous one and the same thing happens in its case. In this way, about 8-10 or more drones can be combined with the queen in the same flight.
"Thus the male bee that meets the queen will die. So this reunion is called Suicide Mating".
Every time the queen bee meets on a flight, up to 100 million sperm can be deposited in the queen's oviduct. And the queen will be able to lay eggs using this sperm for the rest of her life. He never needs to mate with any more male bees. Just what! Even if the queen bee born from her womb never had sex in her life, her kingdom will continue and she will be able to lay eggs and hatch. This is also a specialty.
The queen has no job to serve her with hundreds of staff roaming around. He feeds her, wipes her face, cleans her body. And the queen just sits and lays eggs. Capable of laying up to 2000 eggs in one day. So the bee queen can be called an egg-laying device! However, the rate of egg laying may vary depending on age, environment and temperature. The lifespan of the queen is 2 to 3 years.
Now the question is when bees are kept commercially, they are confined. Is this the Mating Flight? If not, how does the queen bee lay eggs?
Usually after the reunion the queen is arrested or imprisoned. And once he meets once in his life, he doesn't need to have sex with male bees for the rest of his life.
Another special feature of bees is that even if the queen does not mate with a male at all, the queen bee is still able to lay eggs.
And if the queen is arrested at a young age and the box is locked and she does not get a chance to have sex, there is no problem in procreation. Maybe not the Queen's meeting flight. However, even if the box is closed, there is no obstacle for them to get out. The queen bee can do the Elopement. The Queen can fly out of the box to the meeting.
