 1 - 5% of workers in queen-right cerana colonies had
activated ovaries whereas Apis mellifera is less than
0.01%.

Kinda looks like  LC vs SC/natural sizing to me, especially
with older archives talking about relative items, i.e.
thelytoky with self-fertile workers in several
races/strains. Or queen up above laying storm while down
below odd patches eggs being found. Cannot be in two places
same time. Glad to see modern research finally being done
on it without the fright tactics.
