I am preparing a hand out for a beginners class and was rattling off the numbers then thought hmm better double check this so looked in two books.
One agrees with me that the capping age for Queens and Workers is day 8.
Another and newer book says day 9 for both.
Wikipedia says day 9 for the worker and 7.5 for queen so a right dogs breakfast.
Thoughts?
