Summary is about 1 in 10,000 workers is an egg layer in
pretty much any hive, even yours. Bees who find these eggs
decide to keep them or eat them based on various pheremon

This is not new information of 1 in 10,000 workers being an

back to pre-1900 go into this laying pattern and names that

What is new reading for me if more on pheremon levels.
