So he has been doing it for a while. I wonder how that works. Like one bee just takes over the roll and grows bigger from being force fed or certain larva clearly show queens but they pick one and then destroy the rest. what if the queen dies? do all of the bees commit bee suicide?
shit. its such a delicate balance
The worker bees in the colony will replace a missing queen by making queen cells and feeding larva what they call royal jelly,they usually make a bunch of them.
The first queen to emerge either mates and comes back and murders the other queens before they hatch or murders them right away I can't remember right now.
It is a delicate balance I've been keeping bees for about 6 years now and I still have a lot to learn.
