Scientists need to make up their minds. Are they wanting to kill us all, or give us super long lives, or have just the elites live super long lives?

Because she won’t do the dangerous jobs? Nags the workers to work to death?
My guess is that this will have little to do with lifespan genetics.

On the Left, it does appear that too many people who self-identify as Queens (narcissists to the rest of us) live a long time.

Sooooo, does this mean that Que Mala will be with us for a while?
While some would find this depressing, I remember what El Rush-Bo used to recommend. Keep someone like Que Mala around to remind people of just what can happen.

Google AI:
The ejaculation is so powerful that it ruptures the endophallus, disconnecting the drone from the queen. The bulb of the endophallus is broken off inside of the queen during mating—so drones mate only once, and die shortly after.
