← Nature & AnimalsWhich foraging inefficiency increases when a honeybee colony's 'waggle dance' communication decays?
A)Foragers select depleted nectar sources✓
B)Pollen collection efforts become random
C)Larval food distribution triggers overload
D)Queen substance dispersion efficiency diminishes
💡 Explanation
Reduced orientation precision causes the foragers to select less-optimal, already-depleted nectar sources nearby, because the waggle dance encodes spatial information; therefore, nearby depleted sources disproportionately targeted rather than higher-yield but more-distant areas, and this affects the total energy consumption.
