Although being an insect bees do not have a form of embryo like those in mammals, they do have a stage betwixt the egg and the grub which is the nearest the insect world has to the embryo. I was very fortunate when I was able to capture this stage of bee development.

This is really interesting. Of course, being insects, I knew they have a larval stage, but never thought about it much.
