← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results when internal error affects a bee's waggle dance?
A)Misdirection toward a non-existent resource✓
B)Brood temperature instability in the hive
C)Reduced olfactory sensitivity when foraging
D)Increased susceptibility to parasitic mite infection
💡 Explanation
Foragers use the waggle dance to communicate food source direction; navigational error introduces misinformation. Scout bees incorrectly signal resource direction because of faulty neural processing, rather than effects on the brood, scent, or mite resistance. Therefore, misdirection toward a nonexistent resource results.
