Which 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sources increases because inhibition through the stop signal is lacking; the waggle dance continually reinforces outdated information rather than dynamically adjusting to resource availability.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.
