Ant Genealogy - they evolved twice in the same way

I don't know from ants, BUT there IS an insect that humans HAVE domesticated for our food supply - in fact, these insects can't exist on their own and are critical for the food, fruits and veggies primarily but also domestic animals secondarily. That insect species would be the honey bee. Domestic "European" honeybees can't survive in the wild - just watch a TV documentary about African - wild - bees and you'll get the idea . Domestic bees are just docile and stupid African honey bees. When ancient humans entered a new valley, went to a new place over the hill on the Steppe, or some jungle somewhere, they would kill off the aggressive bees - probably while looking for honey - but needed some kind of bee to pollinate domestic crops. Once the wild, aggressive hives had been killed, then what was leftover? Our ancestors would always have to put up with some stinging but when a hive is big enough and dangerous enough to kill kids then those hives have GOT to go. Also, bees swarm - meaning they plant a new daughter hive wherever humans had wiped them out. Hence the dominance of the European bee. If we just up and died, European bees would quickly follow us to the grave.
