Beeswax is a natural wax
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Produced by the worker bees
Beeswax is a natural wax produced by honey bees of the genus Apis. Bees consume honey (6-8 pounds of honey is consumed to produce a pound of wax) causing the special wax-producing glands to convert the sugar into wax which is extruded through small pores. The wax appears as small flakes on the bees' abdomen. The wax is formed into "scales" by wax-producing glands of worker bees, who discard it at the hive.
