Bees, ants and termites are considered super organisms. As discussed, they don't really act as a great example of emergent behavior of organisms - more analogous to the organization of, say, cells within a mammalian body. Drawing the lines around species properly is helpful to understand the implications of natural selection, and the fitness functions surrounding emergent behavior. Without doubt, eusocial insects represent some of the most successful species on the planet from a biomass perspective. At the same time, if you study the evolution of these species, you won't be motivated to "be a bee". One way to describe the very complex multi-adaptation evolution in brief: wasp egg dumpers, over generations had the tables turned; host wasps started charging rent, then enslaving younger generations; some of the wasps started cloning their slaves, even breeding these clones for specialized roles. Its a really interesting topic to dive into. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_eusociality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_eusociality
