Studying for a test. I'm finding conflicting information. Are Honey bees a 2 or 3 caste system??? Is it just the Queen and workers; or Queen, Workers and Drones?

Thanks

I would go with 3. Drones, workers & queen.

If someone marks you wrong, I would argue this site. See table 1 where it gives development time for 3 castes.
