Hi All/Phillip

Interesting stuff about the cape bee mechanics - yes that is the way
it works.

Interestingly, and I must check on this, somebody here in our bee lab
told me that they think the young hatched cape bee lays fertilized
eggs until she mates, after which she is able to lay both
unfertilized and fertilized eggs.

Odd bee.

Keep well
