Question

Honeybee performs a round dance to indicate food source. The distance between the hive and the food source is?
(a)50m
(b)100m
(c)1000m
(d)2000m

Answer 1

Hint: A honey bee is a flying insect in the genus Apis of the bee clade, they are all native to Eurasia. The capacity of a Honeybee to perform a round dance is between 50-100m.

Complete answer:
When the honey bee(Apis bee) locates a profitable food source, she returns to the hive and performs a round dance to communicate its location. As honey bees cover around 40m while doing a round dance.

Additional Information: Honey bees fall under the genus namely apis. Which is a diverse bee species, with at least 44 known sub-varieties. These are united by characteristics of honey production, wax comb production, and living in a colony with a queen. These honeybees also demonstrate certain unique behaviors and characteristics.
Honey bees play a crucial role in our lives. Angiosperms produce fruit after pollinators such as bees and butterflies pollinate them by transporting pollen from the male (anther) to female (stigma) flower parts.
Apis mellifera ( honey-baring bee) is the most widely distributed and domesticated bee species in the world. Known for its striped yellow abdomen, large colony sizes, and propensity for enclosed communal hive-style living spaces the European bee offers clear behavioral benefits to humans wanting to keep them. For the past 5,000 years, domestication has had a significant impact on apis Mellifera’s genetics, selectively breeding out aggressive behaviors and prioritizing honey production and climate hardiness for their human utility.
So, the correct answer is ‘50m’.

Note: A waggle dance, or wag-tail dance, is performed by bees foraging at food sources that are over 150 meters away from the hive.
