Question

Which pair is incorrectly matched?

• A. Breeding female honey bee - Worker
• B. Breeding female honey bee - Queen
• C. Breeding male honey bee - Drone
• D. Non breeding female honey bee - Worker

Answer 1

The correct option is A Breeding female honey bee - Worker

Each hive has one queen and 100 female worker bees for every male drone bee. The queen's only job is to lay eggs and a drone's job is to mate with the queen. A worker bee is any female bee that lacks the full reproductive capacity of the colony's queen bee. So option 1 is the wrong option where it says the breeding female honey bee is a worker. Breeding female honey bee is always the queen.
