Which consequence results when increased environmental noise obscures honeybee dances?

A)Increased genetic drift in new generations
B)Quicker adaptation to toxic environments
C)Less successful recruitment to food
D)Increased resistance to parasitic mites

💡 Explanation

Reduced recruitment happens because masking decreases information transfer during the waggle dance, a form of non-verbal communication using mechanoreceptors. Therefore, fewer bees locate food sources, rather than increased resistance, because noise impacts the signaling pathway.
