Question:

Which one of the following products of apiculture is used in cosmetics and polishes?

Options:

Honey

Oil

Royal jelly

Beewax

Correct Answer:

Beewax

Explanation:

Apiculture’s main product is honey. Honey is much better for people than refined sugar.

Royal jelly is also harvested from beehives and is used in medications and treatments to boost human immune systems, counter allergic reactions, is thought to aid Alzheimer's patients, eases menopause symptoms, treats osteoporosis, aids in healing wounds, and is even thought to improve male fertility.

Honeybees produce beeswax, which is used in lip balm, skin moisturizer, furniture polish, candles, and as a lubricant for sliding furniture parts.
