Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • This statement is not true. Honey is made by bees from the nectar of flowers, not from pollen. Bees collect nectar, which they then convert into honey through a process of regurgitation and evaporation. Pollen, on the other hand, is collected by bees as a protein source for their larvae.
