A Queen Mary University study found that some of these animals would roll balls without any reward or training, suggesting an inclination to “play.” The “cuckoo” type of these animals are distinguished by their klepto·parasitic nature. Diseases such as BQCV, IAPV, and DWV can be parasitically transmitted to these animals. Some of these animals exhibit a behavioral trait abbreviated VSH, a type of “hygiene” in which they remove pupae infected by the (*) Varroa mite. These animals employ a 45 degree “run” to indicate the direction of foraging discoveries in relation to the sun. Karl von Frisch won a Nobel Prize for elucidating the Tanzprache used in the waggle dance of one type of these insects. For 10 points, name these insects, of which only around 4% produce honey. ■END■
