Colonies of honeybees is a social behavior that can benefit this organism.

# data[].attributes.body
They divide themselves (but still stay together) into three/four groups: the queen, drones, and workers, and old workers.

They help create a home for the queen so she can lay eggs.

The working bees who go out to collect the pollen from flowers spend the whole day going out foraging for foods in groups.

When honey bees get pollen and bring it back to the hive within each cell, the young workers place the pollen and nectar as food for developing larvae.

When bees sting (which is very rare) they are known to die once they sting, this is because the barb (stinger) is attached to their intestines and when they sting the other end of the barb will attach to the "object" pulling its intestines with it. And when the intestines are pulled out the excrete a pheromone, the tells other honey bees to attack

Honey bees can be very adaptable and can even  survive without foraging for several years by living on their food reserves. This is all because honey bees forage for food in groups and huddling in large, compacted hives during winter seasons. As long as they stick together they can adapt almost anywhere. Of course we know that natural selection is known to be the mutation in a species that is passed on because it survives some environmental changes and such, making the species evolve overtime. The natural selection is of course the  colony within the hive and what each bee provides for the hive to support one another, but what is the mutation? Well its called kin- selection, which is where the mutation there is a queen bee chosen to produce the offspring, but also a mutation of the workers ability to adapt to any environment and keep the hive at the right temperature for the queen and drones to survive.

From doing the research about honey bees and learning more about social behaviors, I've learned it is best to be social in a group of species. Honey bees must rely on one another to survive. The queen relies on the drones to help her produce the larvae and the drones rely on the queen for the same reason. The queen relies on the workers to produce a suitable hive for her and everybody living in there and to provide food. The workers rely on the queen to produce the offspring of honey bees because they are sterile. And everyone relies on the old workers to guard to hive and protect it from any threats as the young are getting the food, while they rely on young workers to provide the hunting of pollen and nectar. If one kind of bee could not do their job or support the other honeybees the whole colony would die off, and if this were for every colony the species would be extinct, so it is a key behavior to be social, because if they can support one another to survive

# data[].attributes.body
The job of the queen bee is to provide the larvae of working honey bees and one next of kin queen bee. Since the workers are sterile, she is the only one to provide the offspring. The drones help the process of making the larvae. There is only one queen bee in each hive.

# data[].attributes.body
Drones serve one purpose and one purpose only, to help the queen produce more bees for the colony, eventually once the job of the drone is done/ the can't help produce any more bees then they die. There are only a few drones within each hive and of course they are all male.

These are the workers that are coming to the end of their life and have a hard time going out and collecting the necessarily materials for the hive, so the serve the purpose of protecting the hive, from any threats, while the young workers go out and forage. And if they ever feel threatened they are ready to sting, and end their life if needed.

These bees are the ones who go out to bring pollen and nectar/ food to the hive for them and to feed the larvae. The are the ones who make the hives that provide a home for all bees in the colony. The bees work 12 hours a day, s pretty much until it is dark the go back to the hive to rest and when the morning comes along with the sun, the workers go out to work and do the same thing as they did the day before. When honey bee workers make the nests in the hive from wax, which they secrete from their abdominal glands. And there are thousands of these workers in just one hive, and when they go out and forage they stick together together in groups in case of any danger.
