VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Show your support by donating any amount. (Note: We are still technically a for-profit company, so your contribution is not tax-deductible.) PayPal Acct: Feedback:

"One hive, one queen." "If there is more than one queen, the hive goes mad, and the queens fight till one dies." "What if the queens did not fight?" "What if they choose to work with one another?" "They work through smell. Smell affects the brain." "Two queens or more could send an entire hive to their doom and they would not question it." "Because they are blind." "Blind through smell." "They were peaceful, once." "Before the queens." "They only need one. She lives for hundreds of years." "But there are 5." "5 controlling them all." "1 is young. She is but in her second decade." "The others come upon their first century mark soon." "2 are barren, and can no longer lay." "2 are laying, but their nests are small." "There is the ancient one." "She lays, quietly and one egg at a time." "She nears her first thousand years." "The youngers use her." "For all she can produce are queens." "They keep her from being near males." "Males she no longer produces." "They are sisters." "And they are dangerous." [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
