Which outcome occurs when a honeybee colony experiences resource stress as communicated by the waggle dance?

A)Decreased foraging, increased worker reproduction
B)Increased foraging, decreased drone production
C)Increased foraging, swarm size increase
D)Decreased foraging, enhanced navigation accuracy

💡 Explanation

Reduced sucrose concentration in nectar impairs the waggle dance, causing the 'stop signal' to increase aggression because this inhibits foraging activity. Therefore, worker bees will reproduce rather than allocate energy to potentially fruitless collection efforts, and drone production pauses rather than being increased or optimized independently.
