Yes, the muds have a bee or ant-like system. Do a forum-search for "Sam" or "Queens" and you'll find out all about them.
As for the brew; it may not have been referenced in AO but brew had been used to enslave mudokons for long before that time, as seen in the flashback. Apart from anything, the two stories follow on from each other directly - Abe sets out for Necrum the day after escaping from RuptureFarms. There's no time for the brew backstory to have developed between the two games.
