Soldiers, Queen and drones

Answer Details

The correct answer is: Queen, drones, and workers make up the bee caste. Explanation: Bees have three distinct castes: Queen, drones, and workers. The Queen is the reproductive female in the colony and is responsible for laying eggs. Drones are male bees that are responsible for mating with the queen. Workers are sterile female bees that perform all other duties within the hive, including cleaning, feeding the young, and foraging for food. Soldiers are not a part of the bee caste; this term is usually used to refer to certain types of ants that have specialized roles in defending the colony.
