The quality and taste of honey depends upon the flower visited by

B. Flies
C. Farmer
D. Queen bee
Solution
Honey is a substance that is used commercially. Honey is sweet in taste because of the sugar present in it. It has medicinal use also because it has healing properties.
Honey is also good for our digestive system.
Complete answer:
Honeybees live in groups. In each colony division of labor is found. Every member of the group has his own duties.
Sterile female bees do the work to make honey by sucking the sap of flowers, give it to queen bees and keep maintaining the beehive. Male bees do copulation with queen-bee. Queen-bee does not make honey but lays eggs and reproduces new bees.
Queen bee also takes care of newborn bees.
The taste and quality depend upon the type of flower visited by the female worker. The bee sucks nectar from flowers using their proboscis.
Worker females are found in large numbers in a group but Queen-bee is found only one. When a queen -bee dies, royal jelly is given to a newborn honey bee that develops into a new queen- bee.
Male bees die after copulation with the queen- bee.
So, the answer is A. bees.
Note: In a group of honeybees only queen-bee is fertile because it secretes a pheromone. This pheromone is called a queen substance.
This substance inhibits ovarian development in other bees, so they convert into worker females. This substance is chemically alpha-keto-decanoic acid.
