Insects, Humans and Intelligence

Human brains are big. Humans are intelligent, but most humans like laziness. On the contrary, the ants are so tiny, if they have brains, those are more tiny. Are the ants intelligent? But the ants are so diligent and responsible living beings!

I am really intrigued to know why the humans are generally lazy compared to the ants. Is there any correlation between the size of the brain and laziness? I don't know if there exists any study. I haven't yet Google searched with that.

The other day we had to break a black hive (sorry it wasn't beBee hive) of hornets outside our apartment building. It is probably a variety of bee. The honey produced by them is not used for eating. It may be having some medicinal use. I am not sure. But I can guess that it could also be useful.

Now the inside architecture of a hive is so beautifully designed. All the smaller building blocks of a hive is hemispherical. They have multiple stories (layers) inside the hive. Humans can't accomplish that laborious and complex job. 

Humans are intelligent living beings. They think many things other than food or shelter or clothes. They use machines and computers. They study artificial intelligence and machine learning. But most humans are fond of laziness to some extent. Can the humans also be responsible about their duties similar to the bees or the ants?

The insects are tiny objects. Their brains are more tiny than their whole body. I suppose insects don't carry out any study on augmenting their intelligence. But they are very diligent and responsible. They perform their duties well. They work forming a very well connected network.

Why we, humans can't be more diligent and socially responsible similar to the insects?

Why we, humans can't be more diligent, and more socially responsible like the ants and the bees? Enough research literature could be available in the Internet which I have yet to search and read. I just wish to share what I am thinking now.
