Answer 1

The correct option is B Three

Scout bees search for feed and intimate about the same to other worker bees by different forms of dance. Prof. Karl von Frisch decoded their language of “Bee dance” and was awarded the Nobel prize in 1972. Round dance is performed when the food source is less than 100 m . Tail wagging dance is performed if the food source is more than 100m.
Nuptial flight is the flight of drones and queen for copulation. The queen leaves the hive and secretes pheremones to attract the drones.
Bee wax is secreted by the abdominal gland of worker bees.
Therefore, three statements are correct.
