The larvae in the photos are still in the stage of being feed. After a few days of feeding royal jelly and the some pollen and honey, their cell will be capped. When they come out they will be a bee.

Bee Larvae
We were in the hive again and we did not see the Queen, but there were sure signs that she is around. In the photo we see the bee larvae sitting in royal jelly. All bees eat the royal jelly about 3 days. Since the Queen is fead it for a longer period of time, 6 days. This longer period is what turns her into a Queen.
