The worker/queen divergence happens far earlier - and we all know that, as only larvae of specific very limited ages can be used when grafting queens.

>  An adaptive response was revealed after nutritional deprivation during a late larval stage, resulting in complex changes in the adult phenotype and culminating in increased starvation resilience.
