A honeybee eats her way out of the comb and is born!

We were in the Winter Park Honey Apiary for the holidays.  My niece expressed an interest in seeing the bees. She got a real treat!  We found the queen on one frame and then noticed that this frame of  bees had several bees emerging from their cells.  First they poke their antenae through the propolis covering that has protected them throughout their gestation period.  they work at it for quite a while, some more than 20 mintues, and then emerge from the cell and pretty much go to work doing their first job of cleaning up after their 'birthing' process.
