I had no idea the queen can store sperm in her abdomen for up to 20 years. Wow! I will write an article of bees next. Right now, all I can remember is someone, maybe Einstein, who said that if the honey bee were to disappear, mankind would only have about a few years to live. :( That's bad... Thanks for the comment.

THEY HAVE A MONARCHY SYSTEM AND HAVE TO MAKE SURE THEIR QUEEN CONTINUES TO REPRODUCE.DID YOU KNOW THAT?????? ONE QUEEN WILL USUALLY MATE WITH SEVERAL MALES. THE SPERM IS STORED IN A SPECIAL ORGAN IN THE QUEEN'S ABDOMEN AND WILL LAST THROUGHTOUT HER LIFETIME. THIS CAN BE AS LONG AS 20 YEARS, DURING WHICH TIME THE SPERM CAN BE USED TO FERTILIZE TENS OF MILLIONS OF EGGS. YOU SHOULD WRITE ABOUT BEES TOO AND WHY ARE THEY DISAPEARING.
