You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The diagram below shows the life cycle of the honey bee. Write a report for a university, lecturer describing the information shown below. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. You should write at least 150 words.

The provided diagram illustrates the natural lifespan of the honey

bee

, including several stages, as will be reviewed.

Overall

, it is clearly observable that a

bee

's life cycle consists of six distinct stages, beginning with laying an egg and ending with a mature honey

bee

, taking at least 34 days to complete.

To begin

with,

this

natural process commences with putting one or two eggs on the ground by female bees every three days. In the subsequent step, hatching takes place after about ten days, which is a relatively sluggish process when compared with other phases. Once

this

step has been taken, the immature

bee

starts growing. Meanwhile, the newly-born

bee

moults three times. In the two final phases, the immature

bee

is transformed into a young adult, and

then

the transformation of the young

bee

into a mature

bee

happens; the fifth step takes nearly twice as long as the final one, which is the swiftest after the birth of the

bee

.
