This chart shows the daily progression of honey bee growth and cell building for workers, drones and queens.It comes in very handy for queen breeders who refer to the chart when looking for young eggs that are between 1 to 3 days old to use for grafting. The age of the egg is revealed by it's position in the cell (upright, slanted downward, etc)
I have my chart laminated and keep it with me in the bee van. It's hard to remember all the details of when cells are capped and when they hatch so referring to the chart while at the bee yard is really helpful.
Note that queen cells always point downwards on the frame so the queen comes out from underneath, as picture.
The scan is a bit cut off on Day 24 where it shows the drone hatching.
I did a review of the book The Biology of the Honey Bee written by Mark L Winston. It's a really good book and has a ton of information which you will find useful. It's well worth the purchase.

Book Review: The Biology of the Honey Bee - this link is to my review on this blog. It's worth a look because it mentions some bee glands and such which you may not know about...
