Boris says “We have studied social insect reproduction for several decades, and every time we look more closely, we uncover something new— from sperm competition and the remarkable long-term sperm storage of queens to the ways males physiologically influence queens. Our latest work on how honey bee societies ear their future queens provides just another example of that story.”
