That is an interesting variation. But a primarily-invasive variant is going to be self-limiting, as they rely on strong host colonies to take over.
I do take issue with calling the queen 'all powerful'. From one point of view, the queen bee has as little power as the Queen. The virgin queen is selected before the egg is laid. She is fed only royal jelly (other bees get a balanced diet), which makes her larger and sexually mature. If she isn't killed by the existing queen, or another virgin queen, she is allowed to make a single mating flight. After that flight, she will likely never leave the hive again. The royal staff will lead her from one honeycomb cell to the next, where she is expected to lay an egg about once every minute. If she drops off that pace, the staff will build a few much larger cells off the main comb, and lead her to deposit eggs there. They will then make certain that she never goes back there and kills the immature queens.
The queen does issue the scent commands to the colony, but she isn't actually the one that creates the orders. When the colony runs short of protein, they limit the queen's access to 'bee bread', a fermented pollen and nectar mix that is the bee's primary growing food. The protein-needy queen then issues the scent to concentrate on gathering more pollen. If the continues, she'll eventually stop laying eggs. But it's not really the queen making the decision. It's all decided by the queen's "staff", and she is just the figurehead.
