The Secret Lives of Bees

In bee communities none is as important as the queen.
Sure, bees seem to live in harmony with each other with every member of a colony knowing his place and purpose.
In the face of danger - the most expendable members sacrifice themselves in defence of the colony.

Maybe this is where our rulers get their concept of governance.
