I watched eusocial behavior first hand. I found a newly mated queen carpenter ant and kept her as she laid eggs, tended the larvae and pupae. Then she quit the caring/nurturing and turned all that over to the newly hatched workers. They even foraged for food and water and fed her directly, mouth to mouth. Her only duty, then, was to lay eggs. The workers fed some larvae more and others less to create different castes… foragers, builders, nurses, warriors… all in the course of a year.
