Honey Bee Colonies Are Superorganisms, and Beekeeping May Need to Catch Up
Honey bee colonies are described as superorganisms, meaning the hive functions as a single living entity rather than a collection of individual bees. Under this view, beekeeping practices that treat hives as groups of individuals may be outdated, and approaches to managing bee health could need to shift toward treating the colony as one biological unit.
Why now: Growing concern over bee declines is driving fresh scientific debate about how colonies should be understood and managed.
