Whatever the equivalent word would be. Leader, chief, boss, it doesn’t really matter.

As long as the concept of a single leader existed, it would have been applied to something like bees. Wouldn’t need monarchies to recognize a central focus of an insect group, and pick the closest word for that.

You could maybe argue that there might be some alien species that had no concept of ever needing a decision maker, and they would have to coin a new word for the main reproductive entity of a hive. Something like mother might be used, if the aliens had that concept at all. Perhaps “generator” would be a close enough equivalent that the imaginary aliens would be almost certain to have a similar enough concept.

But humans had a concept of needing someone to make decisions about things way back. So I don’t think it’s a realistic enough idea to say that in the absence of monarchy that we wouldn’t have some kind of term for a person in charge.

Quorum bee

Prime, Alpha, Leader, Lead, Breeder, Spawner, Source, Central, Keystone.

Those prefixes used upon the suffix of: Bee. All seem like potential options

pelletbucket OP ,

now I’m sitting here thinking about it, from one perspective, you could consider that particular bee to be a slave to the rest of the bees

Bees don’t have a social hierarchy the way humans do. They aren’t queens or slaves, they are just different roles in the colony that contribute to survival and reproduction in different ways.

pelletbucket OP ,

that’s why it’s all about the human perspective. the first person to give it a name lived in a world of kings and queens, but if they’d lived in a world with no kings and queens but the world that had slaves, they might have called it the slave bee. there are infinite iterations, hence my question

seed bee
