← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases when a honeybee colony must relocate to a landscape with few reliable landmarks?
A)Reduced foraging efficiency increases✓
B)Increased pathogen vector transmission
C)Queen infertility occurrence rises
D)Elevated hive temperature irregularities
💡 Explanation
Foragers rely on spatial memory during dancing; the **waggle dance** transfers landmark-based directional information. Reduced landmarks degrade this precision, hindering navigation, because foragers face greater spatial ambiguity. Therefore, locating nectar sources decreases, rather than temperature instabilities, pathogens spreading and queen infertility.
