If Darwin's theory of evolution was sound, then how can one explain the
phenomenon of the honey bee that has evolved to often have the new queen
kill her sisters, thereby putting all the hives eggs in one basket (or
bee :-).  If this queen fails to mate or is lost during the mating flight
the hive is doomed.

Now why has the application of Darwin's evolution theory not naturally
breed this trait out of the honey bee as the smarter plan would be to keep
several virgins alive until one is successfully mated.
