Answer: 1, 2, 3 & 4
Notes: Apis cerana is an Asiatic honeybee known for using unique sounds to defend against hornet attacks. Apis koschevnikovi, a sister species, is found in Malaysia and Indonesia. Trigona iridipennis and Apis cerana are reared in Nagaland for their high-quality honey. Vulture bees, stingless bees from South America, feed on rotting flesh and have evolved an extra tooth for biting meat due to nectar competition, carrying it in small baskets instead of pollen.
