The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements regarding honeybees are correct, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement I: Queen bee is fed with royal jelly by workers.** - This statement is **correct**. Worker bees produce royal jelly and feed it to the queen bee, which is essential for her development and reproductive capabilities. 2. **Statement II: Brood chambers in beehive contain fertilized and unfertilized eggs.** - This statement is also **correct**. The brood chambers contain both fertilized eggs (which develop into female worker bees or queens) and unfertilized eggs (which develop into male drones). 3. **Statement III: As the drones are capable of flying they feed on plant juices and nectar.** - This statement is **incorrect**. While drones are capable of flying, they do not feed on plant juices and nectar. This role is primarily performed by worker bees. 4. **Statement IV: Storage of sperms in spermathecae is the sole function of drones.** - This statement is **incorrect**. While drones do have a spermatheca for storing sperm, their primary function is to mate with the queen to fertilize her eggs. Therefore, this is not their sole function. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis: - **Correct Statements:** I and II - **Incorrect Statements:** III and IV Thus, the correct answer is that statements I and II are correct. ### Final Answer: The correct statements are I and II. ---
