Where does the Queen come from

Post by Ruairidh » Mon Feb 29, 2016 9:09 am

So I read that it had something to do with diet but don't fully understand, also read that workers lay eggs but those ones are eaten, is this true? And how is it decided that a larvae will be female and be a soilder, worker etc??

It's all about how much food is given to them when small and how much care of them as well so if there it's not he queen that tells the workers to make this larave a worker make this one a soilder its all about care and how much food it is and for the eggs thing yeah they some times feed the queen the eggs as well

I think I've seen it in my other colony's I have best is let Andrew tell I could be wrong I hope I've helped a little bit :)
