Additional Broodbox with Floor Information
In beekeeping a brood box is a critical component of a beehive where the queen bee lays eggs and the larvae are nursed to health. It is typically the lower section of the hive, where the queen and worker bees focus on brood rearing and colony growth.
Key characteristics:
- Egg-laying area: The queen bee lays eggs in cells within the brood box, which are then attended to by worker bees.
- Larval development: The larvae hatch from eggs and are fed royal jelly and pollen by worker bees, developing into pupae.
- Capped cells: Once the larvae have developed, the cells are capped with wax to protect and preserve the developing bees.
- Brood pattern: The queen bee lays eggs in a circular pattern, starting from the center of the frame and expanding outward, to maintain optimal brood temperature and humidity.
