Honeybee larvae development (IMAGE)
Caption
Development of honeybees in the laboratory. The larvae received pesticides in their food from the fourth to the ninth day. After the ninth day, the larvae in the bee colony would normally be capped for their pupation; in the laboratory, they were transferred to a new plate. The different stages of development from egg (day 1-3) to round larva (day 4-9), stretched larva (day 10-12) and pupa (day 13-20) to the hatched adult bee (day 21) are clearly visible.
