Not an ansver but there is kind of two answers, they could grow by a set amount or to the power of something [xy] but I am not great at math so this might be incorrect
According to National Geographic, a honeybee has a size of 0.6 in. which is approximately 1.5 cm. Its height is about 1/6 of its length so I'm going to assume the initial height is 0.25 cm. In 2034, it is as tall as a man which would be 170 cm Human height on wikipedia.
If you assume it grows linearly each year, the equation for the size would be 9.98529t + 0.25
If you assume it grows exponentially, the equation for the size would be 0.25*1.46764t
Usually, however, the exponential growth model is a better estimation for a growth model so I would tell you that the amount it grows increases over the year exponentially.
For those who prefer visuals, here's the graph of linear growth and the graph of exponential growth generated using wolfram alpha.
A bumble bee is about 0.6in long. I couldn't find how tall they generally are but based on images like these I would guess that they are about 1/3 tall as they are long, so we will say 0.2in tall.
The average male is 5'9". The average sitting height ratio is ~52% of total height, so the seated man is lets say 3' tall. The bee in 2034 looks to be about 5/3 the size of the seated man, so it is 5' tall.
The bee has to go from 0.2in to 60in in 17 years.
It would have to grow at a rate of
3.52 inches a year 0.293 inches a month 0.00964 inches a day 1.12*10-7 inches a second
or it would have to grow
39.9% a year or 2.84% a or 0.00919% a day or 1.06*10-6 % a second
