Thanks! Next questoin: do we have any idea whether haplodiploidy is a result or driving force for eusocial behaviour?

Probably a driving force, as Wikipedia lists quite a few haplodiploid Eusocial species that independently evolved Eusociality.

(The interplay of Eusociality and genetics is one of the most interesting wiki dives I ever did, highly recommended it)
