Waldemar:
 For a worker to lay an egg that would result in a laying
queen, the worker itself would have to go on mating flights
and get mated.

Reply:
Intercaste workers in a way, but even in grafting if one
were to experiment, say grafting day after day, larva in
suceeding age, where would queen grafting stop and worker
grafting start? Could this be similar to 3 days egg or so
and then larva until capping over, with supercedure queen
failing to return normally due to bird eating accident or
other.....................certainly something to ponder as
to what actually is going on........for the bees to get
into high gear while they still have a chance.

How do you rationalize it?
