What are the three castes of European honeybees?

The three castes of European honeybees are queen, worker, and drone.

What is the role of the queen bee in a honeybee colony?

The queen bee is the reproductive caste and lays around 2,000 eggs a day.

What is the main function of worker bees?

The main function of worker bees is to perform all the duties needed to keep the colony functioning, including collecting nectar to turn into honey. Signup and view all the answers

What is colony collapse and what are some of its causes?

Colony collapse is a major problem for honeybees and is caused by pesticides, climate change, loss of habitat, and loss of plant biodiversity. Signup and view all the answers

Why is the death of bee populations a concern for humans?

The death of bee populations could lead to widespread ecological collapse, as 70 of the 100 crops that produce up to 90% of our human diets rely on bees for pollination. Signup and view all the answers
