Which effect occurs when scout bees increase waggle repetition?

A)Recruitment rate decreases markedly
B)Pollen quality assessment degrades
C)Distance estimate accuracy increases
D)Competing food source appeal strengthens

💡 Explanation

Increased waggle repetitions signal higher-quality food sources due to a sustained vibrational dance creating better direction cues. Therefore food source location accuracy strengthens for foragers, rather than lowering recruitment rate or causing pollen degradation, because the dance quality reinforces the positive feedback loops around the successful scouts.
