Solution

The correct option is A Honey Bee

  • The phenom­enon of existence of several morphological forms with separate functions in a species is known as polymorphism.
  • So honey-bees are well known as social and polymorphic insects.
  • They live in colonies in hives and each bee-colony includes several thousands of bees which consist of one queen, several hundred drones and tens of thou­sands of worker bees (50,000-80,000 or more).
  • So, the correct answer is option A.
