Consider the following statements about beehives :
A. Every beehive has only one queen bee that lays eggs.
B. There are a few males in the hive who make the hive.
C. The number of females is much more than the males in the hive. These female bees are the worker bees who work all day. They also look after the baby bees.
D. The worker bees fly around flowers in search of nectar for honey. On finding flowers with nectar, they do a special kind of dance by which other bees also join them to collect the nectar.
The correct statements are
Answer: D
The correct statements are A, C and D.
A hive has a single queen bee, the only one that lays eggs (A). Most of the bees are female worker bees, which do the work of the hive all day, including caring for the young (C). Workers search flowers for nectar, and a bee that finds a good source performs a special dance on its return that tells the others where to go (D).
Statement B is false. The few male bees (drones) do not build the hive; the comb is built by the worker bees from wax they produce. So every option containing B is wrong, and 'A and D' leaves out C.
