The paper uses a data-driven approach to analyze social complexity in bees, revealing a major evolutionary transition in corbiculate bees that led to phenotypic diversification.

The paper examines the relationship between social organization and lineage-specific microRNAs in bees, finding that novel miRNAs may coevolve with genes but do not significantly influence social evolution.

This study shows that brood presence reduces sleep in bumblebee workers, suggesting a pheromonal signal modulates sleep to enhance brood care.
