Got a question: Is there a known correalation between queen size and age that the larvae are selected to be queens...in other words will selecting a very young larvae (everything else being equal) result in a larger queen? Could you get a big ol fat good looking intercaste..... or is a fat good looking intercaste an oxymoronic statement? Anybody know of any studies along these lines? Any tendencies observed?
