Colonies of army ants are large compared to the colonies of other Formicidae. Colonies can have over 15 million workers and can transport 3000 prey (items) per hour during the raid period.

Apis dorsata, the rock bee or giant honey bee, is a honey bee of South and Southeast Asia. They are typically around 17–20 mm (0.7–0.8 in) long and nests are mainly built in exposed places far off the ground, like on tree limbs, under cliff overhangs, and under buildings.
Stingless bee colonies display a preference for cavities previously used by other colonies, containing remnants of building material and nest structures. Arrival of the queen: after initial preparations, an unmated queen, accompanied by additional workers, arrives at the new nest site.
The workers of Vespa tropica are about 24–26 millimetres (15 ⁄ 16 –1 in) in length, while queens grow to 30 millimetres (1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in). The head is dark brown/red; the abdomen is black with a distinct yellow stripe which covers most of the second abdominal segment.
