What determines if a queen bee produces another queen bee or just drone/worker bees? When a queen produces a queen, is there some kind of turf war until one of them leaves?
In: Biology
It’s a mistake to think the queen is in charge. She is the focus of reproduction, but the workers decide when to produce a new one. If there are two at once they fight or one swarms off with some of the workers. The special food is called Royal Jelly, and it turns a normal egg into a queen.
