Question

Which among the following is the real product of the honey bee?
A. Honey
B. Bee wax
C. Propolis
D. Both (B) and (C)

Answer 1

Hint: Apiculture is a beehive cultivation method. Consumer goods are used in everyday life. Honey bees have an excellent source and even in excess of honey. Agriculture often acts as work for different individuals. Honey bees are being farmed on a wide scale.

Complete answer:
Honey is the primary product of apiculture. Honeybees produce more honey than they normally need, and humans enjoy eating it. For individuals, honey is much healthier than refined sugar. On the ventral side of the abdomen of bees, wax gland is present from which natural beeswax secretions take place. It is often used to create honeycomb cells in which honey and pollen are stored and young bees are raised. By boiling the honeycomb in water, beeswax can be extracted. Beeswax is also a great natural material that can be used in several ways. Propolis, a material obtained from tree buds and sap flows, mixed with beeswax, is also developed by honey bees and is used by bees to glue the hive together, covering up the cracks. In many traditional medicines, people use propolis, especially used for skin irritations, etc. For certain stringed musical instruments, Propolis is often used as an ingredient in varnishes. Propolis is a secondary component secreted by the honey bee itself, but an equally virtuous beehive asset and honey bees are the true product of bee wax.
Hence, the correct option is B-Bee wax.

Note: The bee wax is a combination of many chemical compounds. The beeswax typically has a low melting point and the colour will fade or wax discoloration occurs if we heat the wax above 85 degrees Celsius. It is also used to build the comb cells of bees, where honey and pollen storage takes place and young bees are raised. By boiling the honeycomb in water, beeswax can be removed.
