What are the desirable characters of bee varieties suitable for honey production?
Bee varieties having the following desirable characters are suitable for honey production:
(i) They should yield high quantities of honey. The bee varieties reared should produce more honey.
(ii) They should not sting much. Bees reared should sting less so that they can reared easily and the honey can be obtained easily.
(iii) They should stay in the beehive for long durations.
(iv) They should breed very well.

How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?
In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water
