Confirms what I thought- there doesn't seem to be any selection by the queen, selection is in favour of the fastest drones.

Which normally would indicate the strongest genes and the best partners....perhaps like Friday night down the disco.

Quite; but the thread seemed to be drifting towards the queen selecting her own strain, rejecting drones from her own colony etc.
