Headcanon: When a new queen leaves the hive to start her own, she is permitted to select a few drones to accompany her. Among drones, it is considered a great privilege to be chosen as a hive "firstling".

This is very true, and can be seen in Libi taking Draco with her. When constructing a new hive, a Queen’s sense of reason is often overtaken by instinctual drives and she will sometimes forget to feed while seeking or building a new home. At these times, the presence of her mother’s drones may keep the new Queen fed and well.
