A queen is thought to be made not born

Interesting little bit of information for you. The queen bee has her own cell (looks like a little upside down cup, or nutshell) and she is also fed a higher protein diet called royal jelly. She is actually born sooner than worker bees and is bigger and slightly different in color. In some cases a worker may acutally take the place of a queen if something happens to the queen. Either way it is noteworthy that a queen is fed different food and emerges as a queen!
