Just trying to figure out how it all come together. Does the Queen lay the egg in a clean dry cell, and then the egg hatches, and then the royal jelly is feed to the emerging larva, or is it added sooner, or later?
Thank You
The nurse bees add the royal Jelly just soon as the egg hatches, that's why the larva has one breathing portal closed. It has time to close the one breathing port so it won't drown. Then as the larva floats the queen will add more.
Capt44, was that a typo? The queen doesn't add royal jelly.
Laid. Hatches. Immediately fed.
