Honey bees, like ants and termintes, are social insects. That means they live in large colonies where members of the colony share tasks. They usually have only one female -- the queen -- who lays the eggs, and the other females are infertile.

Within a social colony, individual members cannot survive for any length of time without the colony.

Non-social insects are called solitary, and live alone. Most insects are solitary.
