50 to 75 meters of the hive the Scouts perform a round dance. Whereas if the food is father from 75 meters from the hive the Scouts dance is called the waggle dance.Thereby bees, 'waggle' dance is meant for visiting the source of food.The queenThere is only one queen in a colony and considerably larger than the members of other castes.Swarming is the natural method that honeybee colonies use for multiplying their colonies.The OLD queen is killed as soon as the new queen is fertilized.The phenomenon of raising a queen in the off-season is called supersedure. The normal life-span of a queen is 3 years.The droneThe drones are male bees with no sting.They are much larger and stouter than either the queen or the workers.Their only FUNCTION is to impregnate the young queen a task which they are unable to perform until they are about 10 days of age.They also help in the maintenance of hive temperature. The drones are produced by unfertilized eggs of the queen, or by those workers which take up the reproductive function due to the ABSENCE of a queen in a colony.The normal life-span of a drone is 57 days. The workerSmallest inhabitants of the beehive.They are imperfect females incapable of laying eggs.Worker bee's primary duties are cleaning, feeding developing larva once hypopharyngeal glands develop, ripening of honey, secreting/molding of wax into combs.The life-span of a worker is about 4 weeks during the ACTIVE season and 8 to 10 weeks during the less active season.On certain occasions when the colony is in need of a queen, some of the workers start laying eggs from which only drones are produced.These workers called laying workers.
