In the social insects -- the bees and wasps and ants -- the individuals that you see every day -- the ants going back and forth to your sugar bowl, the honey bees that are flitting from flower to flower -- all of those are always female.
Nos insetos sociais  — abelhas, vespas e formigas — os indivíduos que vemos todos os dias — as formigas que vão e vêm  até ao nosso açucareiro, as abelhas que esvoaçam de flor em flor — são todos fêmeas.
