Social structure in insects

Social structure in insects refers to how different members of a colony organize their roles and responsibilities to work together efficiently. Insect societies, like bees, ants, and termites, often have a division of labor with specialized castes such as workers, soldiers, and reproductive individuals (like queen and king). These roles are maintained through communication and physical differences. The social structure ensures cooperation, survival, and reproduction, allowing the colony to function as a cohesive unit. This organization varies among species but generally promotes the success and resilience of the entire group.
