What is a young bee fed to develop into a queen?

A young bee develops into a queen because she receives a special diet of royal jelly, a protein-rich secretion from nurse bees, throughout her entire larval stage, unlike worker and drone larvae which switch to pollen and honey (beebread) after a few days. This exclusive royal jelly diet triggers a cascade of developmental changes, leading to a larger, fertile queen capable of reproducing, while the other diet results in sterile workers.
