Agreed, Pete.  The study you cited was talking about queen larvae.  I was
talking about worker larvae.

It would make sense for bees not to discriminate queen larvae, but sense
*to* discriminate worker larvae.  I can't remember the paper that shows that
they discriminate worker larvae, but will post if I find it.
