AI Summary

A study published on 6 October 2026 proposes treating honey bee colonies as superorganisms rather than collections of individual bees. The authors argue that this perspective changes the fundamental biology of the colony, suggesting that the group functions as a single organism. They note that such a shift could influence modern beekeeping practices, though specific implications are not detailed in the report.
