When they find the right place, they create a wax nectar pot to store nectar. The gynes also gather pollen to later feed larvae. Gynes make a large pollen ball, moisten it with nectar, lay multiple fertilized eggs on the pollen ball, then cover it with wax. After a period of incubation, the eggs hatch and feed on the pollen ball."
