Yeah I dug into this, and the hive does show some characteristics of communism, and the regulating force of their behavior is their identical genes.
So this is an interesting contrast, in this example in nature a pattern that resembles communism seems optimal when each bee/agent has identical function to all other bees/agents. I'm dramatically oversimplifying here, but it seems like a distinction that matters.
