    Question

    Identify the appropriate collective noun for bees. 

    A.

    herd

    B.

    swarm

    C.

    group

    D.

    bunch

    Correct option is B

    • Collective Noun Definition: A collective noun is a word used to describe a group of the same type of thing or animal.
    • Specificity for Bees: For bees, the collective noun must reflect their behavior, particularly when they move or gather together.
    • Analysis of Options:
      • (A) Herd: Typically used for large mammals like cows or elephants, not insects like bees.
      • (B) Swarm: Specifically used for a large group of bees, especially when flying together or clustering.
      • (C) Group: A general term, not specific to bees and less precise than “swarm.”
      • (D) Bunch: Used for objects like flowers or bananas, not for living creatures like bees.
