In a beehive, workers career is determined by age. When they hatch at 21 days of age, they start as
1.cleaner
2.nanny / feeder
3. nursery feeder
4. construction worker
5. soldier
6. Hunter

Unless they are males. All they do is eat & have sex. So yea, pretty much the same as humans:)

Argue for your limitations and they are yours forever.

Yeah, males have a nice time as long as they are resident. The "Hit the road Jack" in the autumn is pretty tough.

Whathever you are, be a good one.
