Social Organisms

Explore the fascinating social structures of bees and naked mole rats, highlighting their distinct roles within colonies. In bee societies, the queen produces eggs and controls the colony through scents, while drones, who are haploid males, exist solely to mate. Worker bees, vital for the colony's survival, perform tasks such as nursing, building, and honey-making. In contrast, naked mole rats have a single reproductive queen and a small number of males, with their social hierarchy based on reproductive capability. Understanding these roles sheds light on the evolution of eusociality.
