Most social insects...are relatively used to daily life without males. Their colonies are well run by swarms of sterile sisters lorded over by an egg-laying queen.

"Asexual species don't mix their genes through recombination, so you expect harmful mutations to accumulate over time and for the species to go extinct more quickly than others. They don't generally persist for very long over evolutionary time."
