← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a bee's waggle exaggerates?
A)Overestimation of food source distance✓
B)Inaccurate indication of food quality
C)Misinterpretation of hive predator threat
D)Disregard for alternative food sources
💡 Explanation
Bees use waggle to indicate food source locations using encoding distance. When exaggeration of the waggle occurs, it affects temporal coding because it stretches duration and leads to systematic overestimation of distances therefore bees often initially overestimate, rather than undervalue, the food site's true distance.
