When summer temperatures climb inside a honeybee colony, thousands of worker bees fan their wings simultaneously to circulate cooler air through the comb. Other workers collect water droplets, depositing them along the honeycomb rims so evaporation can draw excess heat away from developing larvae. If the hive becomes critically overheated, large groups of adult bees temporarily evacuate the structure, reducing internal body heat until cooler ambient conditions return.
The passage as a whole suggests that:
- AEvaporating water droplets along honeycomb rims protects developing larvae from heat.
- Honeybees employ several cooperative behaviors to keep their colony from overheating.Cevap
- CInsects rely entirely on collective teamwork to survive extreme environmental changes.
- DWorker bees spend more energy regulating hive temperature than foraging for food.
Cevap
Honeybees employ several cooperative behaviors to keep their colony from overheating.
The passage outlines three specific actions taken by honeybees—fanning wings, using water droplets for evaporative cooling, and temporarily evacuating—all aimed at lowering hive temperature. Combining these examples leads to the unstated central point that honeybees utilize a variety of cooperative strategies to prevent overheating.
