Queen Bey is expecting to add two new members to her hive in 2017.
Beyonce and Jay Z announced Wednesday in an Instagram post that the superstar singer is pregnant with twins.
The photo shows Beyonce wearing a bra, underwear and a veil, with her hands holding her stomach as she sits before a backdrop of flowers.
“We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over,” said Knowles, 35, who is married to rapper Jay Z.
"We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two," she added.
The couple already has a daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, who was born in 2012 and has since been featured in music videos and a song alongside her mom.
The announcement triggered an avalanche of reaction online, with Twitter reporting 500,000 tweets in 45 minutes.
Many of those posts celebrated the news.

Others were irritated by all the fanfare.
"Creepiest and most awkwardly self-indulgent photo EVER released to the public by a celebrity," one CTV News reader said in a comment.

Beyonce and Jay Z were married in April 2008. In 2013, Beyonce revealed that she had a miscarriage before Blue Ivy was born, and she sang about the loss in “Heaven,” a track on her self-titled 2013 album.
Beyonce has previously suggested that she had plans to grow her family. In a 2013 interview, she told ABC News that she definitely “would like more children.”
Long considered titans of the music industry, Beyonce and Jay Z are flush with entertainment accolades. Beyonce has been nominated for more Grammy Awards than any other woman in history, with 53 nominations and 20 wins. Jay Z has turned his focus to business in recent years as co-founder of Tidal, a music streaming service.
