At the center of the photo is a worker laying eggs (laying worker) who also happens to be a "false queen", or pseudo-queen. She has similar pheromone mixtures as a laying queen (you never see virgin queens with retinue), hence the name. Not all laying workers are false queens, only very few of them become so "good" in queen-likeness that they get treated the same as a real queen.
