beekeeping

Is it true that if you eat the queen bee all of the worker bees become your minions?

I heard about this on National Geographic.

They do not become your minion. The bee colony is centered to the queen bee as it is the only individual in the colony with the capability to breed and renew the colony’s numbers. Thus without the queen a colony would soon be wiped out with no new bees born. If you have a queen bee, the entire colony will follow it and make the nest whereever the queen resides. Beekeepers often use this method to keep hives by securing the queen in a hive with outlets only the smaller worker bees are capable of entering and exiting since the queen is several sizes larger. When they move the hive, the entire colony follows. You do not become the bees rulers, they just tolerate you and are only devoted to theur queen.
