Yeah i actually had the same thought while writing the comment, but wanted to commit to the bit.

"hardworking contributors to society" automatically makes me feel yucky. usually the kind of people that uses words like that seriously, are the people profiting the most from capitalism.

From a natural point of view (without humans in the picture), bees are probably better at cooperation than wasps, which would make them better at "society" but im no biologist or philosopher so meh.
