← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when the 'stop signal' is absent during honeybee foraging dances?
A)Overestimation of nectar source richness
B)Increased premature swarm emigration rate
C)Recruitment towards depleted food sources✓
D)Disrupted queen mandibular pheromone distribution
💡 Explanation
Recruitment to depleted sources increases because inhibition through the stop signal is lacking; the waggle dance continually reinforces outdated information rather than dynamically adjusting to resource availability. Therefore, bees continue searching where resources are gone, rather than exploring other areas.
