The fruitless gene controls the social behavior of drones.
Scientists have discovered that the fruitless gene in honeybees is responsible for the cooperative behavior of drones, influencing their participation in food exchange and navigation within the hive. This finding helps to explain how evolution has adapted genes to support the complex social structure of bee colonies.
