← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when honeydew availability diminishes, prompting altered 'waggle dance' features?
A)Bees enhance thoracic muscle metabolism
B)Forager bees conduct shorter dances✓
C)Bees modulate antennal sensilla density
D)Bees perform only round dances
💡 Explanation
Honeybee waggle dances direct nestmates to food. If honeydew is scarce, dance durationshortens via adjusted motor patters, signaling less profitable resources, because forager activity patterns change. Therefore, shorter dances occur, rather than metabolically enhanced muscles because energy expenditure isn't primarily limited.
