> That egg size influences emerging queen morphology and physiology and that queens lay larger eggs in queen cells
This may be a translation artifact but it isn't the egg size that influences queen morphology. Whatever the queen does to these eggs would be the cause of both larger eggs and more well developed queens. But this could have zero significance in the real world. Everybody assumes tall people are better at basketball. Being tall might help but not if you have no skill.
