What is the role of workers in the bee hive?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Workers do household chores, secrete wax, build hive, produce highly nutritious royal jelly and convert nectar into honey. They forage and collect nectar and pollen and they perform selfless services for their society. They communicate by ultrasound signals, pheromones, dancing and gestures. Workers are sterile females and so their ovipositors are modified to form stings and accessory reproductive glands get modified to form poison glands. Through these devices, workers tend to protect their hive from destroyers.
