She's all like: "oh great, another crappy home-made card to add to the collection. Would it kill you to actually spend some actual termite-money on me once in a while? I sit around here, busting my abdomen to keep this place running and this is the thanks I get?".
I know I'm late but I think they use a special hormone like chemical on tiny cameras. So that way the termites will think it's one of their own. Edit: Wow, I've forgotten about this reply
+CDog2910 Actually the Xenomorphs are more closely based on parasitoid wasps than termites (which reproduce in the same way as Xenomorphs, implanting living creatures with their eggs which then hatch and consume the host from the inside out)
They might have already calculated that. I don't think they were trying to be exactly accurate, but to show you an idea of how many eggs they were talking about.
Since when did National Geographic begin to refer anything in the nature as "the most disgusting"? Honestly? NatGeo used to be about smart documentary, now it apparently has sunk to the level of opinionated "journalism". Really sad, especially considering that termites are actually amazing social insects and that it's really remarkable how the queen functions. But no, according to NatGeo, it's "disgusting".
That's what I really like about Sir David Attenborough and his documentaries - his love and respect for all creatures in the nature, there is no other like him.
Fun fact: In the game Pikmin 2, you can find an enemy called the Empress Bulblax, that strongly resembles a termite queen. Although the bulborb, which is the species the Empress falls into, is a more individual hunter species, if the time calls for it then a bulborb can become an Empress Bulblax. There is also an Emperor Bulblax, but... I don't think that would create an Empress. Who would have thought Nintendo would make a weird game...
Depends on the type. If you mean those disastrous attention seekers, they wouldn't say anything, they would be too uninterested in any sort of science.
+itslyndaaa The ants select one or two candidates from between all the larvae to become queen by feeding them something called royal jelly, which allows them to develop reproductive organs. So when they mature they fight it out and there you go, the winner becomes queen.
+Shake'n Bake These are not ants, they're termites. And with termites there's also a king that has sex with the queen repeatedly for a longer stretch of time. It's ants where the males die off after having sex once and the Queen keeps producing babies without a male
Sam K But lets be honest guys, who would you rather have as president? the random guy on youtube (me) or Trump and Hillary? .... yeah the choise isnt hard now is it?
I'm not an expert, but I'm quite sure it is indeed the case. That's why when ants attack, termites put up a wall of mold and saliva to protect queen's chamber.
10,950,000 per year!!!! Zomg, that's the only one queen, Imagine how many termit queens on this planet. It probably will be more than billion every day, oh mah gaaaaaaaaaad
Thanks for your comment but it is clear that you misunderstand me, or possibly English is not your first language! I was born in Germany and from age 5 raised in Southern Ireland, I love both countries with a passion. I immigrated to the USA and love it here also. I was stuck in England for a number of years because my parents brought me there. Only England was a nightmare for me and it certainly is not my country! I don't hate England. I just wouldn't want to ever visit it again.
@Jeffersonchive1 There is no "next queen". When the queen of a termite colony perishes, the colony dies off. Breeder termites hatch at certain seasons and leave to start their own colonies as soon as they mate; they never remain at the colony they hatched in.
I have to wonder: Do termite enjoy their life? They do find joy in spending day after day in their nest, all helping one another and building their "giant" civilization? The world may never know.....

Crappy termite cards, crappy termite cards evreywere

How the hell do they get footage of these without pissing off the termites?
They paid one of the termites.

Edit: Wow, I've forgotten about this reply
The termites actually signed a pretty lucrative agreement
One day I can hope to become the termite queen
You wanna crap out eggs when you want too?
Nabbit's RUclips XD I DIED AT THAT COMMENT
Nabbit's RUclips lol
Luan Nguyen Thanh Sarcasm my friend
Your not a termite
It's surprising how closely they copied it in Aliens. I figured that they had embellished more in the movie, but it's actually very similar.
+CDog2910 yeah your right i got a total Alien vibe from this.
Argonisgema
Yeah, I always knew the birthing sac dealy was based on termites; but I had no idea that it actually pulsated and shit.
+CDog2910 Actually the Xenomorphs are more closely based on parasitoid wasps than termites (which reproduce in the same way as Xenomorphs, implanting living creatures with their eggs which then hatch and consume the host from the inside out)
Ignis Domini
Not the reproduction cycle, the way the eggs are lain by the queen.
Narrated by Troy McClure-you may remember him from The Simpsons.
You may remember me from such nature films as Man Vs Nature, the road to victory.

reminds me of the fuckin alien queen from alien vs predator

must acquire essence
Actually its 164340000 because of the considerarion of the leap year and in the 15 year span there are 3 leap years so theres an extra 90,000 eggs.
You must be fun at parties.
Platino Psicon your attempt to phase me has been unsuccessful.
They might have already calculated that. I don't think they were trying to be exactly accurate, but to show you an idea of how many eggs they were talking about.
Dawson Depetris Off by 0.003% darn
But having a leap year doesnt make her live any longer
That is a huge termite mound and a huge termite queen! It's interesting that the helpers groom her.

I started to itch by just watching this!
why is that the most disgusting place on earth?
Right? This guy's never been to a gas station bathroom.
Its look like aliens
Because their mom sits all day and leave all the chores to different generations.
I have the same question

Who would have thought Nintendo would make a weird game...
The Empress Bulblax has returned. Chaos will ensue.
I pity the entomologist who had to count those 30,000 eggs.
Props to the cameraman for recording this
Wonder what the feminists say about this?
Depends on the type. If you mean those disastrous attention seekers, they wouldn't say anything, they would be too uninterested in any sort of science.
Thanks, I've downloaded it
so this was the inspiration for the queen from Aliens. looks exactly like that sack it was attached to before it tried to kill Ripley.
This is exactly what a Zerg hatchery does: gain sustenance, and continuously produce larva for more workers and other units.
Queen termite looks like the Empress Bulblax boss from Pikmin!
That's some fine architecture.
Great movie ever
Ridley Scott should file a copyright claim on termites for copying the Queen alien
here cos it was a top post on reddit what the hell is this thing
Same here.
She is a Queen for a reason... that's why there is no King. It's useful vs useless(until he's truly needed)
that's how the Zergs began!
I had the same thought...
kekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekkekekekekekekekekekekeekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekeke
Remember always respect your mother.
Mother Of The Year
they film it by the farms they grow in labs for observation, and place tiny cameras in the nest using termites and wires.
what if the queen dies? how will they get another? shouldnt there be more her size? I HAVE SO MANY QUETIONS
If I'm right they actually lay eggs that gives birth to new termite queens that go to other locations to reproduce and make a new colony.
oh ok
thx
killerman19880385 or you can squish both those queens with a giant sandal
Jj Vaafusuaga Don't need to a ''giant'' sandal .
ok then...ill get my enormous sandal
Since every termite in the colony is her offspring you can tell them a "yo mama's so fat" joke and the entire colony would be offended
I thought termite queens live up to 50 years
Some do
When I was younger I thought they were a foot long
It wasn't shown, but the 'king' termite stays and mates with her for life.
What the fuck, nature.
TU POLSKA PRZEJMUJEMY TEN FILM ! ;D
how does one become a queen? like if it dies? and she makes babies without a dad?
+itslyndaaa The ants select one or two candidates from between all the larvae to become queen by feeding them something called royal jelly, which allows them to develop reproductive organs. So when they mature they fight it out and there you go, the winner becomes queen.
+Shake'n Bake These are not ants, they're termites. And with termites there's also a king that has sex with the queen repeatedly for a longer stretch of time. It's ants where the males die off after having sex once and the Queen keeps producing babies without a male
oops my apologies
+Shake'n Bake also ants don't make royal jelly, bees do...
+Prismo Wishmaster lol you would know that from that adventure time episode were a bee fell inlove with finns flower
I miss programming like this..
All we get nowadays is reality TV about logging, fishing, guns, or whatever else the directors can make entertaining..
The workers have a lame job... I feel bad for them...
LOL True
And yet, in the end, it is the queen who is enslaved to her workers.
In retrospect, I think queen's job is alot lamer than workers.
Da Vin Kim Well it all sucks really. I guess at the end of the day life sucks, and the only thing to look forward to is getting stepped on by a giant.
Da Vin Kim Get fat, stand still and pop'em out, Majesty
Amazing, almost miraculous.
That queen looks so much like the smart bug in starship troopers :/
Yeah .. thats 10 seconds of precious life! =D
Impressive .. those termites are impressive
Someone needs to put Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls" behind this.
David Attenborough is still the king of good doucmentary voice over
Does the termite queen remind anyone else of Empress Bulblax?
yes, I was just thinking, "so this is what inspired the empress bulbax I guess... gross." hahaha
Or the Slurm Queen
How about the Queen Alien from Alies? Now we're going way back.
that's quite impressive
why cant they just have like 10 queens for extra reproduction? ;) Vote me for prez and i will make this happen
Oh bother....
there can be only one head. the queen selects about 20, and the first queen that's born kills the others.
+Sam K I thought that was bees.
EnigmacTheFirst my mistake
Sam K But lets be honest guys, who would you rather have as president? the random guy on youtube (me) or Trump and Hillary? .... yeah the choise isnt hard now is it?
This is so freaky and SO AWESOME.
how many of these eggs survive to become termites? Anyone know?
i supose most of them do, i mean, they are pretty safe from everything. But again, how many termites dye each day?
+Mike A None dye everyday. Otherwise there would be green, purple and other colored termites.
NOD Gaming why?
+Mike A It's die not dye.
I told him that :/
The queen is like ;-; "Kill me, oh wait Nvm just got child support"
I think I found out why the new brand of rice I bought looks a little dodgy...
hmmm
just burn it and cook it who will notice
I'm not sure about termites, but bees and ants only mate once a lifetime and then produce eggs from that.
She is hawt
I'm not an expert, but I'm quite sure it is indeed the case. That's why when ants attack, termites put up a wall of mold and saliva to protect queen's chamber.
why am i watching this
ive picked random videos for the last ten minutes and now my suggestions consist of termites, dangerous rugby tackles and songs about staple foods
dat booty
So beautiful.
termite no longer in philippines becoz the other filipino eat the queen termites.deep fried queen termites yuck!!!!!!!!
wut what?! we do not!

Yah!
10,950,000 per year!!!! Zomg, that's the only one queen, Imagine how many termit queens on this planet. It probably will be more than billion every day, oh mah gaaaaaaaaaad
so if all the worker termites are sterile who fertilizes the queen's eggs?
Saleem Frazer just like in Aliens
sci fi brought us here
There's a king termite.
***** does he do the deed does he? he must be pretty busy lol
There is a king as well, not as big as her but much bigger then the workers
Fuck, I know some people who have no lives whatsoever... Then I happened to stumble across this video. We should all feel so fortunate.
being from this industry even I didn't know about this until now
No it is either a captive colony with fixed cameras mounted in it or they used a fiber optic camera and ran it down into the room for a shot.
@Seijikuro I don't think you would. But the thought gives me shivers....
your grandfather having 11 sons is a huge deal, and would be viewed as entirely reckless and irresponsible today.
Reminds me of a scene in Starship troopers
What a fascinating social structure. I presume a quite efficient one as well.

Wow,the Queen looks creepier from up close. Yet it's part is so big... How does it move anyway?

Termite's national anthem: God Save the Queen.
Who knows, maybe the life of a termite queen is blissful or enjoyable. The only way to really know is to be in her mind.
Every so often there is a generation of new queens and kings produced. These fly away and start new colonies after mating and shedding their wings.
Can someone give me the link, or something like that, how the Queen develops, from the larva and further, or just explain it... plssssssss :D
Oh what a wonderful, wonderful thing! To be the termite queen!
Man I love empress bulblax
When the queen of england dies, lets give her crown for termite queen.
Votre majesté la Reine !!
