Which one of the following statements is NOT true for the honeybees and beehives ?
A.Every beehive has one queen bee that lays eggs.
B.Male bees are very important for the hives.✓ Correct
C.Most of the bees in the hive are worker bees.
D.There are only a few males in the hive.
Explanation
In a beehive, the queen lays eggs, worker bees (sterile females) form the majority and do all the work of foraging, building, and defending, while male bees (drones) exist only in small numbers and their role is limited to mating with the queen. Hence the statement that male bees are very important for the hive is not true.
