The queen can only choose an heir, and pass on the life of the forest, on one day in 100 years.
The queen's chosen pod must open in the light of the full moon, on the solstice (which one is not specified).
A solstice happens twice a year, and the moon is full one day out of every 28, so the odds would be that those two events would coincide every 14 years, not 100.
