Social bees are mainly honey bees and live in a colony of several thousand. Solitary bees, as their name implies, mostly live on their own but sometimes in small colonies of up to one hundred.
Honey bees are social insects that live in colonies with a highly organized social structure. Within the colony, there is a division of labor among the queen, drones, and worker bees. Worker bees perform tasks such as foraging for food, caring for young bees, and building and maintaining the hive. Communication among honey bees is vital for coordinating activities such as foraging, reproduction, and defense of the hive.
Shoebills are solitary birds and typically prefer to live alone. They are generally not social animals, except during the breeding season when they form pairs.
In honeybee social systems, there is a clear hierarchy with a queen bee at the top, followed by worker bees and drones. The queen's primary role is reproduction, while worker bees engage in tasks such as foraging, nursing, and building the hive. Drones are male bees whose primary purpose is to mate with a queen bee. This structured social system helps maintain order and efficiency in the colony.
You can arrange the words from most to least social as: gregarious, friendly, sociable, outgiving, loner, recluse, solitary, hermit.
solitary, alone, single, forlorn
Yes they are
Some examples of solitary insects include praying mantises, beetles, and certain species of bees such as digger bees and sweat bees. These insects typically live and forage alone rather than in social groups or colonies.
Only honey bees (Apis Mellifera) live in large colonies of up to 80,000 bees because they work as a team and are known as social bees. Other bees live individually or in small groups and are known as solitary bees.
It depends on the species of bee. With solitary bees they will live alone, but with social bees they live with the colony. Honey bee drones could not live alone because they depend on the worker bees to feed them.
Solitary
They are solitary.
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.

Land clearing affects bees in different ways. Bumble bees and solitary bees may lose suitable places to make their nests, and all species of bees are likely to lose sources of pollen and nectar as the wild flowers are removed.
They are social.
No, honey bees are social insects that live in colonies. Each colony consists of a queen bee, worker bees, and male drones, all working together to maintain and protect the hive. Honey bees rely on their highly organized social structure to ensure the survival and success of the colony.
