HONESTBEE is proud to present our meticulously crafted Bee Lifecycle Model, an exceptional educational tool designed for beekeepers, commercial apiarists, bee equipment distributors, and educational institutions. This model offers a detailed, three-dimensional journey through the fascinating development stages of a honey bee.
Detailed Model Description
Our Bee Lifecycle Model provides an unparalleled visual understanding of honey bee metamorphosis, from egg to adult.
Visual Representation and Stages
The model is designed as an elongated, cross-sectioned honeycomb structure, painted in a realistic yellow hue. It features two main tiers:
- Upper Tier: This tier showcases enlarged, 3D representations of the bee's developmental stages within individual hexagonal cells. The progression clearly depicts:
- Egg: Tiny, rice-grain-like eggs laid at the bottom of cells.
- Larva: Multiple larval instars are shown in this model, from small, curled C-shaped grubs to larger, more developed larvae filling the cells. These are typically white.
- Pupa: The transformation stage, where the larva develops into an adult bee. Various pupal stages are depicted, showing the gradual formation of eyes, legs, and wings, and a color change from white to darker shades as the exoskeleton hardens. Some pupae are shown in capped cells, while others are exposed for better viewing.
- Lower Tier: Beneath each developmental stage in the upper tier, there is a corresponding numbered cell, from 1 to 21, indicating the typical day-by-day progression of development for a worker bee.
- Adult Bees: To complete the lifecycle representation, there are four detailed adult bee models placed atop the honeycomb structure, showcasing the final stage.
Construction and Dimensions
This model is built with a focus on professional appearance, durability, and functionality.
- Material: Crafted from high-quality, durable resin, designed to withstand regular handling in educational or display settings.
- Dimensions:
- Length: 90 cm
- Height: 28 cm
- Width/Depth: 28 cm
