Colony Structure

Colony structure refers to the way a group of social insects, like ants, bees, or termites, organize themselves internally. It includes how they divide tasks, such as foraging, caring for young, defending the colony, and maintaining social roles. The structure can be centralized or more flexible, influencing how efficiently the colony functions and responds to challenges. Understanding colony structure helps us see how these insects collaborate effectively as a super-organism, ensuring their survival and success.
