A. Body and sting
B. Eyes, body and stinger
C. Head, body and stinger
D. Ears, body and stinger

Answer 1

Hint: The body of the bee is divided into three sections and each section has its own function. The three sections of honey bee include, head, abdomen and thorax. Each of the body parts works together and helps the honey bee to survive.

Complete answer:
Bees are one of the most commonly found insects in India, which are often known as social creatures. They live in colonies and are about 15 mm long. The parts of the bee form an external skeleton known as exoskeleton, which helps the bee to gather the pollen and regulate the body temperature.
Let us examine the given options to find the correct answer.
> Body and sting: The anatomy of a bee is divided into three parts and not two. Therefore, this is not a correct option.
> Eyes, body and stinger: Eyes of the bee are the sub-part of the head. Hence, this is not a correct option.
> Head, body and stinger: The three major parts of the bee are the head, thorax(body) and an abdomen(stinger). The head contains the eye, antenna, mandible (jaws) and proboscis (tongue). On other hand, Thorax also known as the body consists of wings and legs. Whereas, Abdomen has a stinger. Therefore, this is a correct option.
> Ears, body and stinger: The bees do not have ears. Hence, this is not a correct option.

Hence, option C is correct.

Note: Remember that eyes are the sub-part of the head in the bee’s structure and are not included among the major parts. Also, the bees do not have ears. Scientists believe the antennae and sensitive body hair helps the bee to acknowledge the vibrations and sounds around them.
