I hate to break it to you, the bee colony is NOT a "hierarchy.
The Queen is not a 'ruler' the way we see it. She lays eggs and emits a pheromone that lets the other bees know there is an active queen present. The workers do all the work and make the decisions based on the presence of various conditions and pheromones in the hive.
