Every paragraph is just

Bees, for those unschooled in entomology, are broken into three subsets: “Workers,” who build the hive, prepare the honey, and clean each other; “Queens,” who eat the honey and live in opulence; and “Wasps,” who fight wars at the queen’s behest and defend the hive from bears. If this sounds vaguely familiar, it should. It is nearly identical to the social structure that we as humans employ.

See how the worker bee corresponds fluidly to the human laborer. The queen, by contrast, could be mistaken for a member of our ruling class: Presidents, CEOs, publishers. The wasp is analogous to a soldier or boxer. Bears, in this case, can stand in for themselves, as they pose a grave threat to both species.
