How do termites live?

Termites are social insects and live in colonies much like ants and bees. They have a highly developed caste system within the colony. The three castes are reproductives, soldiers and workers. The queen and king produce eggs. The queen and king start their lives as winged reproductives. When they were young they flew away from their parent’s colony to start their own. The soldier caste provides defense of the colony. The workers (the most numerous members of the colony) forage for food, care for the young, and feed and groom the other members of the colony. Termites are native to this area (the central San Joaquin Valley of California).
