I came to an very interesting explanation for question: why young queen
almost always is winner when she must fight for survival with an old queen
on the other side. Explanation (in one book) says that reason is that old
queen (older than 1,5 year) has a ticker poison in her poison sack.
Is there anyone who has  come across scientific prove of this claim? Any
reference?
