← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when excessive hive drone activity distorts bee communication?
A)Overestimation forage patch distance✓
B)Enhanced navigational waggle precision
C)Reduced foraging effort overall
D)Improved resource evaluation efficiency
💡 Explanation
In overcrowded hives, interference with the waggle dance's directional and range components causes a mismatch; because the drone presence disrupts the visual signal and hinders propagation, bees overestimate the distance therefore, leading them to expend unnecessary energy, rather than directing foraging appropriately.
