Which consequence results when a honeybee's waggle dance communicates excessively high floral resource estimates to a colony already near carrying capacity?

A)Increased nectar foraging efforts cease
B)Royal jelly production rate increases
C)Comb cell construction dramatically increases
D)Elevated hive thermoregulation activation occurs

💡 Explanation

Foragers decrease their nectar gathering, employing negative feedback. The mechanism of action is 'dance attenuation', because the colony avoids overflowing resource storage triggering this shift, therefore fewer foragers will be recruited, rather than increasing brood production or hive duties.
