>>> "You are assuming that long life in a queen is proxy for long lived workers.
I was under the assumption, maybe incorrect, that in the summer the workers worked themselves to death, not that they died of old age. Ergo it wouldn't make any difference if they had a genetic propensity to live for a long time or not because the work involved killed them, not old age.
