← Nature & AnimalsWhich foraging outcome occurs when honeybee colonies experience increased varroa mite infestation, thereby impairing individual dance precision?
A)Reduced navigation efficiency to nectar✓
B)Enhanced brood thermal regulation
C)Increased pheromone trail effectiveness
D)Improved colony defense against predators
💡 Explanation
Mites negatively impact bee health, reducing signal clarity when bees perform the waggle dance; the mechanism involves decreased neuromuscular control. Therefore, navigation to food sources become less efficient, rather than improving other colony activities, because it hinges on accurate communication.
