Document Summary

Different parts, segments and organs of the honey bee"s body (anatomy), as well as how they function (physiology) How bees develop from the embryo contained in an egg laid by the queen, until they reach the adult stage through a process known as metamorphosis, which is analogous to that of butterflies. Recognize and describe how bees develop and transform into different stages; and. Explain the fundaments of honey bees anatomy and physiology. One of the key things to learn in this subtopic is how the bee"s body is transformed through four different life cycle stages. The class insecta is further divided into subclasses, the holometabola and the hemimetabola. Honey bees are holometabolous insects because they pass through complete metamorphosis. They experience a great amount of bodily differentiation through the course of their life cycle, which include four developmental stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. The first three stages are known as brood.
