Haha, this is all fascinating. When you bring up these points, I realize my understanding of both bees and human females is somehow inadequate :> Most of the time the dynamics I see and therefore 'study' are male ones (which I'm pretty confident about). I never really felt part of the bee/worker dynamic in the same way most guys are familiar with hierarchy ('cause it pervades society, perhaps?? haha). I've had friends be 'Queen-like', but I was never part of a 'swarm'-- just sort of a freelance bee? That's why I mentioned two girls 'pairing off' outside the system, which is something I'm familiar with :)
I don't think Mai would want dominion over others; too much trouble, eh? :>
