It probably works different in Oddworld but with bees and ants, all the 'workers' are female but sterile and if the hive needs a new queen they just feed a new-born worker royal jelly and it turns into a queen. There are also males (known as drones) that hang around doing nothing until the queen wants a shag (I think that happens every spring, or maybe queens only want it once in their lives, I'm not sure). So maybe there are drone Glukkons that just lounge around Maggie's palace eating Scrab cakes and getting in the way of business

At least in bee colonies the drones are thrown away from the nest when the weather becomes more cold and left to die. : )
