The contrast in the development and social behavior of the western honey bee, Apis mellifera, has been shown to depend on whether bee larvae are fed royal jelly or not.
Those larvae fed jelly will accelerate growth and become queens; all others are destined to become drones. The drastically different developmental outcomes occur despite equivalent genomes, suggesting an epigenetic mechanism.
Which of the following choices would be a feasible mechanism to investigate?

Assertion. Honey Bee queen copulates only once in her life time.
Reason. Honey Bee queen can lay fertilised as well as unfertilized eggs.
Life span of Honey Bee drone is__________.
Termitarium is the nest of___________.
Which of the following statement is correct?
A typical hive contains approximately 20,000 bees classified as either the female queen (n=1), male drones (n=20), and workers (the balance of the hives population). The queen's primary function is to mate with drones and lay the eggs that give rise to the following generation, whereas the worker bees fulfill all day-to-day functions of the hive, including foraging, guarding the nest, tending to the drones and to the queen in addition to constructing the hive.
The European honey bee, Apis mellifera, is capable of producing an inhibitory signal, the stop signal, which can be triggered by encounters with dangerous conditions or organisms. This stop signal reduces recruitment of other foragers to a dangerous location. For example, A . mellifera foragers produce stop signals to inhibit waggle dancing for dangerous food sources.
A stop signal is a 300 - 400 Hz vibrational signal with a duration of approximately 150 mts that a worker usually delivers while butting its head into the body of the receiver, causing the receiver to momentarily freeze. Attacks by wasps and spiders (among other predators) elicit stop signals, which inhibit waggle dancing. However, stop signals are also used in other inhibitory contexts that are not associated with danger.
Each of the following activities plausibly stimulate foraging inhibition and contribute to the overall success of the colony except
If the source is opposite to the direction of sun, then honey bee will convethe direction by
