    Also ants arent that loyal to their queen if she stops producing eggs they will kill her and make a new one.

      So that's why the british killed Elizabeth? She stopped producing eggs?

        It's all coming together now, why do you think they call her the nation's Grandma

          So, does that mean every new brit will come from an egg laid by Charles? Or even worse, Camilla :ohnoes:

      That's how it is with bees. When the queen starts to get old and begins to lay less eggs, the workers sense this and begin feeding selected larvae a special concoction of hormones that turns them into queens. Once the new queens hatch they immediately kill the old queen, then they kill each other in a sort of battle royale tournament. Then the sole winner is pushed into the outside world by the workers, along with fertilized male drones. The drones gangbang the new queen in midair, then she comes back to the nest where she will lay eggs for the rest of her existence, until one day she too will get old and the cycle will continue.

      Celebrated but enslaved, an object of worship so long as she serves them. (stealing a quote from "The Hellstrom Chronicle")

    I've never tested it, but I bet ants enjoy beans and toast too. This means Brits are possibly a species of ants

    Indeed, ants are greater than Brits. Specifically there are 20 quadrillion ants. Britain has a much smaller population than 20 quadrillion. Therefore ants are greater.

      the combined mass of the ants is virtually guaranteed to be much higher than the combined mass of the Brits as well. so yeah :100-com:

    :bug-facts: Wasp and and bees might be different about this but an ant queen is treated like a reproductive organ not a ruler. The ants organize collectively and spontaneously with no need of a ruling power. :kropotkin-shining:

      Yeah, ant colonies will continue to dig tunnels, forage for food and take care of each other without a queen. There will just simply be no more new ants to replace them. The colony will keep chugging along until the last ant dies of old age.

        until the last ant dies of old age.

        I have bad news for you about ant-on-ant violence...

        I assumed wasps were a bit more individualistic thus cared about their Queen more or something but I guess even if they're as bloodthirsty they still know better then brits. :edgeworth-shrug:
