The function createVirginQueens() should also work with just a mated queen (Pop) as the input #267

   I think I know where your coming from - to simplify the creation of a base population? Could you show an example here please?

   Yes, exactly. For example, in the simulation, I first create x virgin queens for the founders --> then use q for queens and (x - q) for drone producing queens. Then I mate the queens and in the next step I want to "graft/multiply" the queens to get another generation of virgin queens, but that is currently not possible without having the queen in a colony. I think this feature would also be helpful in the simulation of grafting from a single inseminated queen.

   founderGenomes <- quickHaplo(nInd = 5, nChr = 1, segSites = 100)
   SP <- SimParamBee$new(founderGenomes)
   basePop <- createVirginQueens(founderGenomes)
   drones <- createDrones(x = basePop[1], nInd = 50)
   queens <- crossVirginQueen(basePop[2:5], drones = drones, nFathers = 5)
   createVirginQueens(queens)
   

   which returns an error: "Error in createVirginQueens(queens) :
   Argument x must be a Map-Pop or Colony or Colonies class object!"

   I think we had this before, but for some reason we went back to "you can only create virgin queens and workers from a colony". I am open to going back;) Its and edge case, like with createDrones()`. Maybe we make it clear in the docs that this is a hack?

   I will change it back then and make it clear in the documentation, that this should only be used in special cases ("multiplying" the founders, case studies of inheritance ...)

   So, we are not allowing this now (again). We need to discuss what we want here.
