Wait so one of her pupae have already eclosed a worker? If that's so, I think that means she's fertile and the male is just a rare occasion.


Yes, first to eclose was a male a late. The second was a worker. Still waiting on a third.

 

Yeah its just a weird phenomenon that happens to some queens that the first to eclose is an alate.
