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?

Doesn't the drone(male bee) die after copulating with the queen?

Correct me if I'm incorrect.

Didn’t the Reagans eat royal jelly or bee pollen?

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.

Billary

Helen Thomas

Angela Davis

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.

Queen only lives 2-3 years

Drones take the longest time to develop.

But what KIND of longer life does the queen have. Queen bees are stuck in the hive, just a big blob of a thing; she can’t fly, can’t move or go anywhere. Where’s the selling point?

Esther was hiding in plain sight in the palace.

Some while back I’d thought, what if Mordecai had instructed her not to ask any questions. Because that’s the classic ‘tell’ - Jews are the people who ask questions. I didn’t recall that she had asked any questions until she had revealed her identity. So I checked.

Esther 8:6 For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?

But as for the drones dying after mating with the queen, it sure looked like that, so why wait...

Esther 7
8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
9 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.

But then if the workers decide that they don’t like the queen, they’ok kill her and raise another.

This doesn’t end well.

See “Invasion of the Bee Girls” and “Wasp Woman.”

The Monarch butterfly has some longevity secrets too, one of every four generations gets to live an extra 6-8 weeks or something so they can make the migration down to Mexico. If you don’t believe me look it up. It’s quite fascinating.
