Solution

The correct option is A

Honey bee


Each colony of honey bee contains three adult castes: egg-laying queen, sperm-producing male drones and non-reproductive female workers. During the winter season, a queen forms a new colony by laying eggs within each cell inside a honeycomb. Fertilized eggs hatch into female worker bees, while unfertilized eggs become drones or honey bee males.
