Social distancing is about both increasing physical distance between individuals when they interact, and also about reducing the number of social interactions.

Social distancing is about both increasing physical distance between individuals when they interact, and also about reducing the number of social interactions. You and I may never interact and the physical distance between us might be so great it's irrelevant, but if we have a friend in common that visits both our houses frequently that creates a bridge between us the virus can cross. This is why limiting the frequency of social interactions, such as by working from home instead of traveling to the office, it also part of social distancing. These honey bees exhibited this form of behaviour modification through reduced numbers of interactions between individuals in the foraging and nursing groups.
