Hatching Honey Bee

Inside a honey bee hive, the queen is constantly laying eggs that will become the next generation of worker bees. In Western Oregon a queen
will lay as many as 1,500 eggs a day from mid-March through May. Twenty-one
days later the "new bees" emerge from their individual sealed cells. It's an event that takes about 10 minutes in real time and about 25 seconds when compressed in this time-lapse movie.
