If Darwin's theory of evolution was sound, then how can one explain the phenomenon of the honey bee that has evolved to often have the new queen kill her sisters, thereby putting all the hives eggs in one basket (or bee :-). If this queen fails to mate or is lost during the mating flight the hive is doomed. Now why has the application of Darwin's evolution theory not naturally breed this trait out of the honey bee as the smarter plan would be to keep several virgins alive until one is successfully mated.
