Season 10: The Buzz Around Bees | Episode 5: The Queen Bee

Being the queen bee may have its perks, but there’s a lot of stress to the job. Sure, you have worker bees bringing you food, grooming you, and caring for your babies. But you are responsible for the livelihood of your children – not just 3 or 4 or 5 babies but tens of thousands. That can put tremendous stress on anyone, queen bees included.  ARS researcher, Mohamed Alburaki explains what it is like to be the queen bee.
