Is the game of thrones all about genetics?

To bee or not to bee?

We all know that there is only one queen bee in the hive, she reigns and is mother to all the colony, but why only one queen bee? Why is she the only one that can do it? Why is she bigger than everyone else and has pages at her side? Probably it's genetics!! No, it is not genetics. The amazing thing is that there is no genetic difference between the queen bee and a worker bee when they are born. The queen bee is a queen just because of the other bees feed royal jelly to her. Isn't it crazy? It is crazy. When the larvae are born and the hive needs a new queen, the worker bees decide to feed a larva - that they think is strong enough - with only royal jelly for the rest of its life, creating the new queen bee. On the contrary, worker bees' larvae are fed with royal jelly only for their first three days of life, and then they eat a mixture of nectar and pollen.

It looks like the saying "you are what you eat" applies to the little black and yellow insects.

I as well wish to become queen just because I eat pasta all day every day, but, in the meanwhile

Enjoy!
