In the early part of the sum- mer several queen cells are made; as soon as a new queen IS hatched the old queen tries to kill her; but the workers protect the new queen, and the old queen, followed by a part of the workers, departs to establish a new colony, and hatched at the same time, they may fight for leadership, and the one survivor rules supreme. Or, often, several young queens depart with a swarm. The queens that are thus killed are carried out by the workers, and they do the same for any that die in the Queen ceU.
