Why do honey bees called as social insect?

Honey bees are considered social insects because they live in highly organized colonies that can consist of thousands of individuals working together for the survival of the hive. Each bee has specific roles, such as foraging for nectar, caring for the queen and larvae, or defending the hive, which fosters cooperation and division of labor. Their complex communication methods, including the famous "waggle dance," help coordinate activities and share information about food sources. This social structure enhances their efficiency and adaptability, making them successful in various environments.
