(a) Queen bee: ................................
(b) Drone bee: ................................
(c) Worker bee: ................................


​

Answer 1

a The Queen Bee plays a vital role in the hive because she is the only female with fully developed ovaries. The queen's two primary purposes are to produce chemical scents that help regulate the unity of the colony and to lay lots of eggs

b The only function of a drone is to fertilize a young queen bee

c Young worker bees also take nectar from foraging field bees that are returning to the hive. The house bees deposit this nectar into cells earmarked for this purpose. The workers similarly take pollen from returning field bees and pack the pollen into cells.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

queen bee- is the only female. She produces chemical scents that keep the colony under control and lays a lot of eggs.

Drone bee- is a male honey bee. They have no stinger and do not gather pollen. Their only role is to mate with the queen bee.

Worker bee- any female bee that cant lay eggs. They do all the hive work and control most of what is going on in the colony.
