@@gotskills23 He said the king, not the queen
"Once a king finds a female alate, the pair shed their wings and burrow into the ground.
They spend the rest of their lives mating to expand the nest.
Until workers are available to take care of their larvae,
kings are also in charge of cleaning and caring for young. "

Man, Termite Queens are important to the termites. Never thought there was a King.

wouldnt this inbreeding for most bugs causes long term issues or do they accept workers from other colonies?
They also have one collective decision making process

I don’t know if you’re considering the ratio it would become between humans. If you’re six foot man, not a half-inch termite, your bride would be 24 feet tall. No human has ever reached 24’. So we have no idea how big that booty would be.

I really thought when I was a child that termite is just another type of ant while their queen is a worm.

@@HansJanssen-ex2rd I have no idea where you got the 5,4 million when 15*30000 = 450,000. And also, you've calculated 30k eggs per year, while she lays 30k a day. So in 15 years she produces more than 160 million eggs.

@@heathermcfarland9366 Most insects live only for days. Maybe months depending. I guess a few years if you’re a “queen”. But 15 years!? HUH!? How!? That’s insane
Bee queens can live for multiple years, too. Unfortunately, the standard for their fertility is pretty aggressive, with either the other bees or the beekeeper replacing them with a younger, healthier queen, like, every 2-4 years. As for what happens to the queen being replaced...well, let's just say there's only one slot available for the position, and no retirement package offered.
@@danielstreeter6738 OHHH I know… heads will roll. Which is so crazy. I just find this to be fascinating. An insect potentially out living a dog or a cat. Thats diabolical

You just realized that? The aliens screte slime they use to build a hive just like bees do with wax. Only how the aliens get their slime is still nor certain. They also hide in holes in their hive making it so that they're camoflaged. People underestimate how deep it all goes.
Just literally fxing to say that! Lol😂
Yeah, and it was stupid.
Alien is a perfect horror film that never needed sequels, nor an explanation for the origin of its main antagonist!
A lot of fiction gets inspiration from nature.
In Futurama there's the "Tunneling Horror" and that is just an enormous version of a tapeworm 😂
@@casesoutherland4175well Aliens was a brilliant film. But I agree about the rest of the sequels.

"NYES" - Termite king
It's actually fascinating how creatures like this just know their duties like they're programmed.
Think about this, just as a whimsy, how does a caterpillars body basically turn into a puddle of genetic goo that becomes a butterfly while in cocoon? Because that’s what happens, it basically turns into a puddle of genetic material with the base organs floating around.
Because they are programmed. Incapable of thought and running completely on instinct and pulses.
The way eusocial insects work is really neat; they have a genetic trait called haplodipoidy which makes it so the queen's female offspring share 75% of her DNA. What this means is that female eusocial insects actually have more in common genetically with their mother and their sisters than they would with their own kids. Since the primary goal of any animal's life is to pass on genetic material, they will then work to serve the queen's needs, and the males do the same because she is the only female that is fertile and actively reproducing.
God fearfully and wonderfully made everything.

@@BadBeatBoxing someone lacks a sense of humour
I used to dig up termite queens, and boy, she does live in a royal chamber. In the colony, the termite queen is kept in a special compartment that's usually sealed all round. And often laid in the middle of their colony. I believe the workers/king only enter to perform their duties, and seal it up again upon exit. If you're not really familiar with how termites hide their queen, you'll never be able to find her in the colony. They're genius at construction.

yeah. there's also the fact that if her output is unsatisfactory, they'll just kill her lol. at least i'm assuming, based on the fact that ants and bees both do this with theirs. i've found ONE questionable source that claims the termites kill their queens by sucking all the fluids out of her body, which...yikes
