Which 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.
