She then stores the sperm from this flight for the rest of her life.The Queen then returns to the nest and starts laying eggs. To make Drones she lays unfertilised eggs. To make Workers she lays fertilised eggs.The workers feed and care for the eggs and larva and also gather food for the colony.If the nest is becoming crowded or the Queen dies, the workers feed one of the eggs with special rich food (called "royal jelly"), this causes it to develop into a new Queen.
