The examples of the chinook salmon and seed beetles indicate that females, in general, cannot produce many large eggs. Instead, they must choose between producing many small eggs or producing a few large eggs (and sometimes, in unfortunate cases, just a few small eggs). Explain, then, how it is possible for a queen honeybee to produce a very large number of relatively large eggs. (Hint: Consider what the other bees are doing.) Does this suggest a general way in which a female can escape from the size–number trade-off?
