Typically the queen honeybee is mother to all the bees in a hive; after mating with several male drones from other colonies, she lays fertilized eggs that develop into all-female worker bees and lays unfertilized eggs that become all-male drones. When a queen dies, workers often lay unfertilized eggs that hatch into drones. Yet workers rarely reproduce while a queen reigns.
According to natural selection theory, a worker would enhance her fitness—or ability to propagate her genes—by hatching her own eggs in addition to or in place of the queen‘s. But a typical worker‘s fitness would be diminished if other workers‘ sons, who have less genetic material in common with the worker, supplanted the queen‘s sons (the worker‘s brothers). Researchers, testing the hypothesis that workers usually somehow block each other‘s attempts to reproduce, put unfertilized eggs laid by workers and by the queen into a hive. Other workers quickly devoured the workers‘ eggs while leaving the queen‘s eggs alone.
麻烦看下，谢谢

1段讲蜂后活着的时候,下的受精蛋是工蜂,未受精的是雄蜂.工蜂不生蛋.蜂后死了工蜂生蛋.
2段为什么蜂后活着的时候工蜂不生蛋.因为工蜂自己相互间就互相抑制.
大概这个意思吧.

原文中的 but a typical worker's fitness would be diminished if other workers‘ sons, who have less genetic material in common with the worker, supplanted the queen‘s sons (the worker‘s brothers). 与题目选项中的 an individual worker's fitness can be maintained without the individual herself reproducing. 好像对应着，但是自己感觉不能理解其中的逻辑关系，望高人翻译指点下！
