According to the Bee Man, what are two reasons why losing the queen is bad for a hive?
A The queen produces a special scent that keeps the bees happy.
B The queen makes new bees to replace the ones that die.
C The queen helps the other bees find a new home.
D The queen makes more honey than all of the bees in the hive.
E The queen scares away other dangerous insects.
The correct answers are A and B.
A: The queen produces a special scent (pheromones) that helps maintain harmony and cohesion within the hive. Without her scent, the bees may become disorganized and stressed.
B: The queen is responsible for laying eggs and producing new bees to replace those that die. Losing her means the hive could face a decline in population over time, which can threaten its survival.
