Social insects like ants and bees exhibit a process of stratification that involves the division of labor within their colonies. This stratification leads to distinct roles, such as workers, soldiers, and reproducers. Through communication and pheromonal cues, these insects coordinate activities, ensuring the colony's efficiency in foraging, defense, and reproduction. Such organization enhances survival and productivity, allowing complex behaviors and social structures to evolve, which contribute significantly to their success as a species.
