Question

[107]. Read the following passage carefully and answer the question.

Passage: A bee visiting a flower is not merely collecting food. As it moves from blossom to blossom for nectar, it carries pollen on its body, and that pollen fertilises other flowers so that fruits and seeds can form. Without this unpaid work, many crops would produce far less: apples, almonds, mustard and countless vegetables all depend partly on insect pollinators. Bees are choosy workers. They remember which flowers gave rich nectar, communicate the direction of good flowers to hive-mates by dance, and return to the same patches day after day. When bee numbers fall because of pesticides, habitat loss or disease, farmers notice the loss in the harvest, not in a laboratory report. Protecting bees is therefore protecting food itself.

1.
Bees communicate the direction of good flowers to hive-mates by dance and return to the same patches daily.

Keepers cleaned the great lens, trimmed the wick and watched through the night that the lamp never went out.
