Which one of the following products of apiculture is used in cosmetics and polishes:
a. honey
b. propolis
c. wax
d. Royal jelly
The answer is option (c) wax.
Explanation: Wax or beeswax is a yellowish-brown, insoluble end product of apiculture. It is one of the services rendered by apiculture. Beeswax is secreted from the wax-producing abdominal glands of worker (sterile female) bees. It is thereby used in cosmetics, ointments, and polishes. Other products like honey, royal jelly, and propolis are also important products of apiculture.
