- Why do some queen bees eat their worker bee's eggs?
12-04-2006 · EurekAlert!
Worker bees, wasps and ants are often considered neuter. But in many species they are females with ovaries, who although unable to mate, can lay unfertilized eggs which turn into males if reared. For some species, such as bumble bees, this is the source of many of the males in the species. But in others, like the honeybee, workers "police" each other -- killing eggs laid by workers or confronting egg-laying workers.

Insect queens were thought to have an egg-laying monopoly, but nine wood ant species revealed widespread reproductive activity by worker ants. Genetic analysis showed that as many as one in four eggs were laid by workers. Workers in many insect species can lay unfertilized male eggs, but usually workers in large colonies enforce the exclusive reproduction of the queen.

Short-term studies also suggest that the drug, called taranabant -- the second drug designed to fight obesity by blocking cannabinoid receptors in the brain -- causes people to consume fewer calories and burn more energy.
