Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Using artificial bee boxes
1. The worst method drives bees away by smoking with a burning torch and cuts the hive, destroying it.
2. Honey can instead be collected without destroying the hive or bees by using artificial bee boxes.
3. Smoking and cutting the hive are the harmful methods, and spraying pesticide would kill the bees, so they are wrong.
4. The smoking and cutting options trap students who recall the described practice but miss that it is the bad method.
