Here is a trivia fact...
The APIS honey bee (eastern, western, european) most common being the Apis Mellifera (bred into hybrid strains) Queen Bee has only one mating flight and has a lifetime supply of fertilized eggs (she may live 4-6 yrs)... Queenie lays only ONE type of egg AND depending on colony conditions and instructions communicated to her court the workers can raise NEW QUEENS/DRONES (males)/workers all from the same egg...
In the case of over population the colony will raise up new queens/drones and will divide sending off casts to create new colonies and the ORGINAL queen will leave with one of the first casts assuming she isnt killed by one of her daughters in a ROYAL BATTLE...
