social insects (like ants and bees)

Social insects, such as ants and bees, are species that live in highly organized colonies where individuals collaborate and follow specialized roles. These roles include workers, soldiers, queens, and males, each with distinct responsibilities. Their complex social structure enables effective cooperation for tasks like foraging, defense, and reproduction. Communication through chemical signals (pheromones) and coordinated behaviors ensures colony survival and efficiency. This societal organization allows social insects to achieve feats far beyond the capabilities of individuals, demonstrating remarkable cooperation, division of labor, and resilience within their communities.
