The more efficient colony

Something I've always wondered is which is the more efficient bug colony. An ant colony or a bee colony. Those creatures are obviously smarter than they look and work as team. Although I think at some point bees sleep/rest while ants don't. Ants just seem like mindless drones that do whatever the heck that queen says. Obviously the queen ant don't play no games when it comes to running that business AKA ant colony. The bees seem to have more individual personalities or at least that's how it appears since you don't always see them in groups, thank goodness! However, ants can at least fight and defend their colony without pretty much committing suicide in the process, if ants gang up on a termite they'll mess that thing up! Bees die every time they use their stingers so they have to make their last battles count for everything so to speak.
