Answer 2

Honeybees do so because they suck nectar from flowers (option c).

• Flowers produce nectar in the form of sugar through the process of photosynthesis.
• Because of this sugar, various insects are attracted to the scent of flowers.
• Flowers and insect have a mutual relationship in which insects sucks nectar from a flower as their nutrient source while they assist in the pollination process of flowers.
• Honeybees have a specialized straw-like tongue that helps them to suck nectar from flowers.
• This nectar is stocked in their stomach until they transform it into the form of honey.
• Hence, honeybees are often found sitting on flowers to suck nectar.
