Complete Life Cycle Model

This complete honey bee life cycle model presents the full development of a worker bee, from an egg on day one through larva, pupa, and an adult ready to emerge. Made by Aperture Apiary, it is a vivid teaching aid that shows each stage of the 20-day cycle in one set. Features Shows the worker bee cycle from egg to emerging adult, days 1 through 20 Days 1–8 are affixed in the cells; days 9–20 are removable to hold in your hand Days 9–20 include magnetic caps to show the capped stages and stay in place Includes an adult worker bee for the final stage How it is used Walk a class through each cell to show the exponential growth from egg to larva, the change into a cocoon and pupa, and the dramatic shift to an adult bee — then let students handle the removable stages. Before you order Color may vary slightly with printing material, and 3D-printed models can show minor surface variation. Keep the model out of direct sunlight and excessive heat so it does not warp.
