A) Bees wax is a waste (excretory) product of honey bees
B) Communication among honey bees was discovered by Von Frisch
C) Apis indica is largest wild bee in India
D) Honey is predominantly sucrose and arabinose
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Karl von Frisch, in 1940s, carried out many detailed experiments and determined that when a foraging bee returns to the hive, it performs a waggle dance. The number and pattern of waggles indicate the distance and direction of the food source. Honey is predominanty glucose and fructose (not arabinose). Bees wax is not excretory product. It is secreted by special wax glands to make compartments. Apis indica is a medium sized honeybee. A. dorsata is bigger while A. florea is smaller.
