If I could mix up the DNS of an termite Queen and a human woman I would totally rule the world!!!

@KampferXeon that is what i read. it seems like bees and ants choose a queen the same way.

[KampferXeon]

@joshuagoboom I'm not sure, but they probably choose which one will become queen after the first queen dies. Bees do it by feeding the hatchling "Royal Jelly."

What about the king?

[joshuagoboom]

how are new queens born? are they born randomly, like 1 every million eggs is a queen or something?
