Bees evolved to cooperate with one another, by having a queen bee that is specifically designed to lay healthy eggs and other bees to provide food for lavae they can quickly reproduce and find food in different environments. By working together their species is more efficient than if the individual insects worked separately.
This system is mirrored across the natural world, ants and termites work in a similar fashion.
