Which physiological effect in honeybees increases colony temperature during cold stress triggering a shivering response?

💡 Explanation

Bees generate heat by shivering, causing them to decoupling oxidative phosphorylation in their thoracic muscles because this metabolic process releases energy as heat instead of ATP, used for other function. Hence the uncoupling increases temp, rather than hydrocarbon reduction, abdominal movement, or decreased sensitivity, which regulate other functions.
