I believe ants and honey bees have genetically-coded and baked-in specializations like worker and queen bees

      Under normal circumstances, a colony would be the place where the ant population lives, the number of queens just has to be equal or greater than 1, as they can have multiple in a single place.

      This supercolony is, from what I understood, a huge quantity of colonies that are interconnected, so you could trek from Portugal to Italy entirely within its tunnels, kinda like a state or country connected by roads
