General mating scheme. m = total number of dam queens; since there is a 1:10 ratio between number of dams and sires, the number of sire queens is “mx10”; in every generation, all sire queens are randomly permuted and grouped; each group consists of 10 sire queens; a dam queen and a group of sire queens are the mating partners; all generations are non-overlapping and the population size is kept constant across generations.
