For Queen and Colony. A look at the development of insect societies, using the latest techniques in macro-photography. Every day in a colony of bees or wasps the workers clock on, the guards are changed outside the queen's residence and the nurses check on the babies - just like a human city. But these sophisticated societies have their origins among some bizarre insects, including parasitic wasps that hijack the living bodies of other insects. Producer Steve Nicholls
