II. Read the text, then decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F):

An average beehive contains more than 50,000 rooms (cells) and more than 35,000 busy bees.
Each bee has its own special job.

The queen bee lays eggs daily, twice her own weight; the drones or male bees mate with young
queens; and the workers, or females, act as nurses, guards, room builders, and gatherers of food.
These workers make 37,000 trips to find flower nectar and carry it back to the hive to make 500
grams of honey.
The wings of honeybees beat at the amazing rate of 200 times per second. That’s why bees buzz!
Bees use their wings inside the hive to create good air circulation during warm weather. In
winter, the beating of bees’ wings keeps the hive warm.

Bees buzz, but they don’t know it. Most authorities believe that bees are deaf.
