This information can be useful to agriculture because bees are major pollinators of crops, so it is important to know which pesticides to manage in order to avoid risk to bee survival. That is option B.

Bees are one of the social insects that lives in societies that are based on a caste system.

Each caste performs a special task or series of tasks that serves as an economic importance to the agricultural system.

Pests such as parasitic mites cause poor agricultural yield. By using pesticides, which are protective chemicals, farmers have greatly improved crop yield.

The bee workers while in search of pollen from crops can be harmed from the pesticides that is being used to control parasitic mites. This can lead to Colony collapse disorder of the caste system of bees.

Therefore,  it is important to know which pesticides to manage in order to avoid risk to bee survival.
