Most beekeepers know that Royal jelly is fed to bee larva for the first few days and then stopped.
The result being that the fertilized eggs become underdeveloped female workers.
If the larva is fed a continuous supply of Royal jelly, it becomes a fully developed female or a queen.
What would happen if a unfertilized drone larva is fed a continuous supply of Royal jelly?

An idle mind can stray to many tangents.
