To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If permitted by the bees, she will get at the cells and des- troy the other queens. After the queen has mated, the worker bees in their excitement will sometimes pitch upon her and form a ball. This is called "balling" a queen. The same thing may take place if two or more swarms get united, or if strange queens get into a colony. Should a colony thus destroy its queen or become queenless in any other way, the bees, on being disturbed, will set up a characteristic roar. The individual bees will ...buzz excitedly and then stop for an instant and then buzz again. This roaring is almost a positive evidence of the colony's queenless condition. Should the colony not have any e ggs, or larvae under three days old, a queen cannot be produced by them. In the course of time the bees, realizing the hopelessly queenless condition, attempt, by feeding up worker bees, to regener- ate the colony. These workers are termed laying workers and al- though their ovaries become filled with eggs, they are never capa- ble of being fertilized, and so can produce nothing but drones of an inferior grade, as they are reared in worker cells.
