Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The eusocial animals are those animals which have evolved a social system in which permanently sterile workers care cooperatively for the offspring of just a few breeding individuals. The eusocial animals such as honeybees, reside in a multigenerational family group in which sterile workers carry out tasks essential for the group’s welfare, while other members of the group reproduce.
