OK, but this is an opinion, side-stepping the actual point, and not
related to the original assertion in which use of the term supercedure
was synonymous with swarming.
And the answer to your question is a definite YES, humans have done that
to animals, and themselves, for many centuries.
A clipped queen cannot continue her lifecycle? Apart from restraining a
prized asset from flying heaven knows where, often to a place it will be
a nuisance for those of us not fortunate/unfortunate enough to live in a
virtually endless wilderness, pray tell how?
