Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are social insects that have successfully colonized almost every ecosystem in the world.
Detailed explanation-2: -Social insects are best exemplified by all termites (Isoptera; sometimes Blattodea) and ants (Formicidae) and by various bees and wasps (Hymenoptera).
Detailed explanation-3: -Only about 9% of all bee species are social. In social colonies, many bees live in the same nest and each female plays a distinct role. Workers gather pollen and nectar for the colony, defend the colony against intruders, and cannot reproduce. The queen produces offspring, but doesn’t forage or leave the colony.
