== Other social bees == There are many types of [[eusociality|eusocial]] bees, including [[bumble bee]]s, [[stingless bee]]s, some [[orchid bee]]s, and many species of [[Halictidae|sweat bees]], native to all continents except for [[Antarctica]], that have workers. Workers in these other bee lineages do not show significant morphological differences from queens, other than coloration or a smaller average body size, though they are often quite different in their behavior from queens, and may or may not lay eggs. See the respective articles for these lineages for details.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Danforth |first=Bryan N. |date=2002-01-08 |title=Evolution of sociality in a primitively eusocial lineage of bees |journal=Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences |language=en |volume=99 |issue=1 |pages=286β290 |doi=10.1073/pnas.012387999 |doi-access=free |issn=0027-8424 |pmc=117553 |pmid=11782550|bibcode=2002PNAS...99..286D }}</ref>
