Safariology® Life Cycle: Honey Bee
Unveil the fascinating, complex development within a honey bee colony. This captivating educational set showcases the complete metamorphosis of the Apis mellifera through four distinct, hand-painted models, illustrating the vital role these pollinators play in our ecosystem. 
The Four Stages of Development:
Eggs & Larvae: A representation of the initial stages within the hive's wax comb, showing the tiny eggs laid by the queen and the subsequent grub-like larvae that are fed by worker bees.
Pupa: The encapsulated "resting" stage inside a capped brood cell, where the larva transforms internally into its adult bee form.
Emerging Adult Bee: A model showing the adult worker bee chewing its way out of the wax cell after metamorphosis is complete.
Adult Worker Bee: A fully developed adult bee, ready to join the hive and begin foraging for nectar and pollen. 
Key Features:
Educational Tool: A hands-on resource ideal for biology lessons, understanding insect development, and teaching about beekeeping and pollination in a tangible format.
Scientifically Accurate: Each figure is professionally sculpted and painted to showcase the intricate anatomy and authentic colors of the honey bee at every stage.
Safety First: Made from durable, high-quality, BPA-free, and non-toxic plastic materials, safe for educational use by children ages 4 and up.
Product Dimensions: The figures vary in size, with the adult bee measuring approximately 2.5 inches in length. 
Ideal For: Classroom demonstrations, entomology studies, sensory play, and anyone interested in the inner workings of a bee hive.
