Question

review the details below.

• worker bees are sterile females that search for pollen and nectar and make sure the queen bees offspring are safe.
• a hive has one queen bee, about 60,000 worker bees, and hundreds of male drones that try to impregnate the queen bee.
• the queen bee lays eggs and produces a chemical that guides the hives activities.

choose the best topic sentence to introduce a paragraph containing these details.
queen bees, worker bees, and drones all have specific functions in their hives.
worker bees and drones serve the queen bee in different ways.
instead of reproducing themselves, worker bees produce honey and protect the hive.

Explanation:

The details describe the roles of queen bees (laying eggs, guiding hive activities), worker bees (searching for pollen/nectar, protecting offspring), and drones (impregnating the queen). The first option, "Queen bees, worker bees, and drones all have specific functions in their hives," encompasses all three types of bees and their roles, which matches the provided details. The second option focuses only on how worker bees and drones serve the queen, ignoring the queen's own role. The third option is too narrow, focusing only on worker bees.

Answer:

Queen bees, worker bees, and drones all have specific functions in their hives.
