3This module contains the Egg class that represents the earliest stage of honey 

4bee development. Eggs are laid by the queen and represent the beginning of the 

5bee lifecycle before hatching into larvae. 

6 

7Eggs in the simulation develop over a fixed period (typically 3 days) before 

8transitioning to the larval stage. They require no resources during development.
