Honey Bees

What are the four stages of the honey bee life cycle?

• larva, pupa, adult bee, queen bee

• egg, larva, pupa, adult bee

• egg, pupa, adult bee, honeycomb

• egg, larva, pupa, worker bee

Explain the process of pollination by honey bees.

• The process of pollination by honey bees involves collecting pollen from flowers using specialized body parts and transferring it between flowers as they search for nectar.

• The process of pollination by honey bees includes underwater pollination

• Honey bees pollinate by eating the flowers' petals

• Pollination by honey bees involves using wind to transfer pollen between flowers

How do honey bees produce honey?

• Honey bees produce honey by stealing honey from other bees

• Honey bees produce honey by baking nectar in the sun

• Honey bees produce honey by collecting nectar from flowers, partially digesting it, dehydrating it in honeycomb cells, and sealing the cells with beeswax.

• Honey bees produce honey by mixing water with sugar

Describe the structure of a typical beehive.

• A typical beehive structure includes hexagonal cells made of beeswax arranged in honeycombs, used for storing honey, pollen, and larvae, along with a queen bee, worker bees, and drones.

• A typical beehive structure includes square cells made of plastic arranged in a grid pattern.

• A typical beehive structure consists of circular cells made of glass arranged in a spiral pattern.

• A typical beehive structure features triangular cells made of metal arranged in a zigzag pattern.

How do honey bees communicate with each other?

• Using Morse code

• Through the waggle dance

• Via telepathy

• Through texting

What are some of the threats to the bee population?

• Loss of biodiversity, overpopulation, urbanization

• Habitat loss, pesticide use, climate change, diseases, parasites

At what stage does a honey bee larva transform into a pupa?

• Adult stage

• Pupal stage

• Egg stage

• Larval stage

What is the role of the queen bee in a hive?

• Laying eggs and maintaining the hive's population.

• Collecting nectar and pollen

• Building the hive structure

• Protecting the hive from predators

How do honey bees navigate and communicate the location of food sources?

• By sending smoke signals

• Using telepathy

• Through the waggle dance

• Through the moonwalk dance

What is colony collapse disorder and how does it affect bee populations?

• Colony Collapse Disorder is caused by excessive honey production

• Colony Collapse Disorder has no impact on bee populations

• Colony Collapse Disorder is a term used to describe bees forming new colonies

• Colony Collapse Disorder is a phenomenon where the majority of worker bees in a colony disappear, impacting bee populations by weakening colonies and reducing pollination services.
