The Yanme'e are a eusocial species; meaning their society usually consists of a single reproductive queen, reproductive males and non-reproductive female workers and/or soldiers. Because of this, they can be extremely dogmatic and hive minded<ref name="Contact">[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]</ref>; something that may have made for an easy conversion into the [[Covenant]] hierarchy. They were one of the newest races to join the [[Covenant]]. They are respected by the other [[Covenant]] for their natural intelligence, obedience, and technological skill. Their skills with technology have brought them into an often violent rivalry with the [[Huragok]], as seen in [[Halo: Contact Harvest]]. | The Yanme'e are a eusocial species; meaning their society usually consists of a single reproductive queen, reproductive males and non-reproductive female workers and/or soldiers.

While they have been in the Covenant for hundreds of years, for unknown reasons, they were not intentionally used in any major Covenant campaigns until the [[Battle of Earth]]. The Yanme'e fought for the Covenant Loyalists during the Covenant Civil War. Some may possibly have joined the Separatists after the Civil War, although it is unknown if any actually did. | While they have been in the Covenant for hundreds of years, for unknown reasons, they were not intentionally used in any major Covenant campaigns until the [[Battle of Earth]], possibly due to their small and weak stature.

The Yanme'e, much like the [[Grunts]] and [[Hunters]], are a conquered race that was forced into service by the [[Covenant]]. Despite this, unlike those other races, they remained with the [[Covenant Loyalist]] faction during the [[Covenant Civil War]]. They strictly follow the [[Covenant]] religion and obey any command without question, yet do not partake in social norms due to communication difficulties with other species. They view the [[Prophet]]s as "Queens", a remnant of their former hive lifestyle. The Queens of the Drones have been described as "enormous" and had to be supported by multiple wingless Drone males. The Drones' language is a cacophony of high-pitched clicking or screeches from the rubbing of their waxy, leaf like wings<ref name="Contact">[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]</ref>. They are also capable of making loud screeching "vocalizations" that is likely produced by their respiratory system or some other sound making organ. | The Yanme'e, much like the [[Grunts]] and [[Hunters]], are a conquered race that was forced into service by the [[Covenant]].
