> Queens reabsorb most of developed eggs in the overioles during this time. However, once conditions changed, it takes few days for the queens to have eggs redeveloped. 

I've heard that before and wondered about it.  Do you happen to know if the eggs are actually destroyed in the process and replaced by new eggs, or somehow, the eggs are "deflated" during that time and later reflated?
