I am mightily impressed with ChatGPT. On this assignment I must give it an A- however for saying; 

>Workers bees release a pheromone called "queen substance" which signals the presence of the queen 

Whereas my understanding is that;

>Queen substance is a pheromone secreted by the mandibular glands of the queens of social insect colonies. The queen substance maintains colony structure as it is given to the worker bees and prevents them from producing/rearing new queens.

Probably the only time I outsmarted a computer. I was usually in the D to D- range in school. If ChatGPT were around then I could have been a contender.
