Position 1: This precise division of labour allows a single colony to function with the efficiency and cohesion of a single living organism.
Position 2: The queen is solely responsible for reproduction, laying up to two thousand eggs per day during peak season.
Position 3: Drones, the only male bees, exist exclusively to mate with queens from other colonies and die shortly after doing so.
Position 4: Honeybee colonies operate as highly organised superorganisms in which every individual performs a specialised role essential to collective survival.
Position 5: Worker bees, all of whom are female, carry out foraging, nursing, and hive maintenance according to their age and physiological development.
