Answer:

Answer: The larvae of a silk moth secrete the silk thread which is used to make clothes. Honey bees produce and store honey which is nutritious food. Silkworm is a creamy white colored insect which is about 2-3 cm long and shining in nature.

Bee larvae have been shown to be an excellent food source for rearing insects

Silk worm larvae is used in extracting silk and thus help in making clothes.

Bee larvae is used in pest control.

The silkworms feed solely on large amounts of leaves from the mulberry tree for around 30-40 days

The majority of honey bee larvae eat honey, but larvae that are chosen to become future queens will be fed with royal jelly.
