Queen Termites
During the spring and fall New Termite Queens and Kings {called alates} mate and spread new colonies.
Reproductive termites developed WINGS and emerge from the colony in large SWARMS to find their MATE. As termite Kings and QUEENS pair off, they find a location for their OWN colony, break off their wings and get busy producing offspring.
The Queen Termite is an egg laying MACHINE! She is capable of laying an egg every 3 seconds for 15 years… {That’s 1/4 billion eggs in a lifetime!}
