Question

• A. 1000 mtrs
• B. 50 mtrs
• C. 2000 mtrs
• D. 150 mtrs

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

50 mtrs

The round dance is performed by the worker bees when the food source is within a 50 metres of the hive. The bee runs one way in the circle, stops and then runs the other way. During the dance the worker bee passes a sample of the nectar to the other workers so they know the taste and smell of the source.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
