Abstract Individual variation in sociability is a central feature of every society. This includes honey bees, with some individuals well-connected and sociable, others at the periphery their colony’s social network. However, genetic molecular bases are poorly understood. Trophallaxis – behavior involving sharing liquid nutritional signaling properties - comprises interaction proxy for bee colonies: more sociable bees engage trophallaxis. Here we identify mechanisms trophallaxis-based by combining genome sequencing, brain transcriptomics, automated behavioral tracking. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified 18 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated sociability. Several SNPs were localized to genes previously other species, including context human autism, suggesting shared Variation also was linked differential gene expression, particularly neural development. Using comparative genomic transcriptomic approaches, detected evidence divergent underpinning across those related reward sensitivity encounter probability. These results highlight both potential evolutionary conservation roots points divergence.
