this is the saddest life.... you literally are born to work and help other termites be born to work. sometimes things like this help remind me why im a glad human being
Mad respect to NatGeo cameraman crawling inside their nest while carrying his GoPro, backpack, camping gear and a bottle of water. I wonder how he could squeeze himself in.
Mom: gives birth* Mom: you are now my daughter. Termite queen: gives birth to millions of eggs* Grows up* Termite queen:you are now my worker. Me: SO YOUR CHILDREN ARE LIKE YOUR ASSISTANT?!
One thing I never understood though is what gene or what exactly determines a queen? Like uh, was the queen once a termite that evolved into a massive termite thus making her the queen? Or is the queen some sort of whole different species?
Wendypretty1 its hard to explain but the old fat queen lays always different types of eggs like worker,soldier and also young "queens" that arent fat yet
when termites are born they may turn into one of the 3 different types - worker, soldier or winged. the queen termite was once a winged termite. when a winged termite is grown they go out and fly off to find a mate. when they successfully do they go into the ground and start reproducing more termites and the cycle continues. the queen is not technically 'chosen' by the existing colony.. they start the colony themselves..
K P no a hoe implies she has multiple suiters. She only has one at a time, the king, he will be mating with her constantly for 15 years. They meat eachother in the wild run off to create there own colony and mate for life.
Ant queens can live for a long time, too. Even worker ants can live up to about 7 years. The "periodical" cicadas of the eastern half of the US spend either 13 or 17 years (depending upon the species) underground as nymphs before emerging for their brief life as adults.
This video seem like one my school would hav on VHS, u knew it was a good day when u walked into ur classroom and that big TV on a cart was sitting at the front of the class
Lets not forget how many other animals feast on the termites, they play there part in the ecosystem , I wonder how hard that mound is, it looks pretty impenetrable .
If the queen pumps out 30k eggs a day, She’d be on automatic fire and the eggs would be shot out of a cannon at the rate of 1 nano second per one nano second. This guys never actually worked inside of a termite nest like I have.
Taef Dewan The way most social species do it they send out drones whose only job it is mate. A young queen mates with 7-1O drones before beginning a nest. She stores the sperm in a special receptacle inside her body for later use.
You mean God=Lord Jesus Christ also known as Yahushua Hama Shiach. Yahushua means Yahweh=I AM Salvation. Hama Shiach means the Anointed One, the Christ. God=Jesus is Yahweh=I AM.
Funny enough, eusocial systems like ants and termites are the highest functioning forms of social systems in the world. It’s sort of like successful socialism. Unfortunately, humans are unable to successfully recreate one with our own species, at least not in a way that there’s freedom, safety, AND happiness.
This termite baby factory of a Queen can produce at least a termite for each resident of Bangladesh in her lifetime. Australia and Canada need a human version of this termites to help alleviate their under-population issues. Someone needs to be in the lab by now
@@SHIN-bc9db More like, they were cockroaches closely relatives. Before, one of Termite ancestor decided to seperate from cockroache family, for becoming social insect.

first of all queen is thin but time goes the queen became fat like yo mama
I wondered the same thing for termites and bees. What determines who becomes a queen?
It’s kinda like they hatch from special eggs
That's an egg every 30 seconds...

I sometimes wonder if the queen feels tired when she lays her eggs. I mean she does it almost everyday!
probably evolved to make somewhat bearable, still gotta be pretty hard
@@Josh0639 15 years...
She does it literally all day everyday
Well, with an abdomen expanding like that, it must be at least somewhat painful

So how do they decide who'll become the next queen after 15 years?
Antmerica's Next Butty Queen

Some queens can actually live up to 50 years.
@ HollowEnthusiast Her name must be Elizabeth.

how can it produces so many eggs so fast??
Used hacks
"SHES A HOE, I SAID THAT SHES A HOE!!!!!!!!"
Termite queens only have one lover for life the king and all the workers are sterile infertile workers who can’t reproduce

Omigod I love this comment 😂
i think they have millions of eggs
How about we become termites
Like why are we peeping on a poor termite woman giving birth like a bunch of slimy perverts.
That's how they came up with Xenomorph Empress, you can not tell me different
And we think 1 or 2 babies is tortue. 😶. Imagine your whole life you couldn't even move and you were bleeding babies. That's their queen...
15 year lifespan? That's pretty long for an insect
The Queens and Kings can actually live up to 30-50 years.
Ant queens can live for a long time, too. Even worker ants can live up to about 7 years. The "periodical" cicadas of the eastern half of the US spend either 13 or 17 years (depending upon the species) underground as nymphs before emerging for their brief life as adults.
30k eggs daily is about 1 egg every 3 seconds. Didnt seem like ahe was moving that fast from the footage.
Just because she produces them that fast doesn’t mean she lays them that fast.
id rather be a regular termite than be a queen termite
why? Do you like it being a slave ?
news flash the queen is the slave as the workers are free to move around
SuperPenguin5495 yea actually
2HootHoot then you would be exstremly expendable. You become the one eaten first by ants.
If it were ants i would rather be the ant queen

So…you’re implying that you’re an actual termite writing this?
Wait how she reproduce does she need a mate ??
she only gets pregnant once, and then she becomes a queen
There is a king that breeds with her
Taef Dewan The way most social species do it they send out drones whose only job it is mate. A young queen mates with 7-1O drones before beginning a nest. She stores the sperm in a special receptacle inside her body for later use.
@@positrondecay4784 actually there is a king that continuously makes with her throughout her lifetime
