Amazing !!!
*23 out of 39 new queens* produced by seven colonies were offspring of
workers and not the resident queen
queenright *anarchistic* honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies
Of the daughter queens laid by the resident queen, three were produced
asexually, suggesting that queens can 'choose' to produce daughter queens
clonally and thus have the potential for *genetic immortality*.
