Section B [ 20 marks ]
[ Time suggested : 25 minutes ]
Questions 11 – 20 are based on the following passages
THE BEE
Bees live in a house that is called a hive. There are three kinds of bees: workers, drones, and queens. Only
one queen bee can live in each hive. If she is lost or dead, the other bees will stop their work.
Bees are very wise and busy little creatures. They all join together to build cells of wax for their honey. Each
bee takes its proper place, and does its own work. Some go out and gather honey from the flowers; others stay
at home and work inside the hive.
The cells which they build, are all of one shape and size, and no room is left between them. The cells are not
round, but have six sides.
Did you ever look into a glass hive to see the bees while at work? It is pleasant to see how busy they always
are.
But the drones do not work. Before winter comes, all the drones are driven from the hive so that they may not
eat the honey which they did not gather.
It is not quite safe for children to handle bees. They have sharp stings that they use in their defense.
