Bees don't select another bee to become queen. They can take any worker egg (all workers are female), and they feed the larva which hatches from it on a secretion from their hyperpharyngeal glands called bee milk or royal jelly. This is a very rich food and it triggers the larva to develop into a queen rather than a worker.
