Or did they create a matrix for the bees? Somewhere we could upload their consciousness to where they can live happy bee lives, presumably every bee gets to be the queen in this safe space.
No; they also have workers and drones; in spring the queen comes out of the earth, where she has been hibernating, and looks for a nest for the new state; she then lays eggs, collects pollen, and takes care of the brood alone until the first workers are ready; the drones then come in late summer and have to leave the nest right away and take care of themselves.
