Which statement is correct :
A
A. indica is largest wild honey bee
B
Wax is waste material of honey bee
C
Karl von Frisch discovered the communication methods in honey bee
D
Drone of honey bee is diploid
Detailed Solution
Karl von Frisch discovered the dance language of honey bees (round dance and waggle dance), by which workers communicate the direction and distance of food. He received the Nobel Prize in 1973. Correct.
The largest wild honey bee is Apis dorsata (rock bee), not Apis indica.
Wax is secreted by the wax glands of workers to build the comb; it is not a waste material.
Drones develop from unfertilised eggs by parthenogenesis, so they are haploid, not diploid.
So the correct statement is about von Frisch discovering the communication (transmission) methods of honey bees.
