← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases when a honeybee colony's pollen stores decline and only older bees perform the waggle dance?
A)Increased pheromone alarm signal errors
B)Reduced foraging vector angle precision✓
C)Elevated colony thermoregulation instability
D)Greater pathogen transmission larval susceptibility
💡 Explanation
Foraging range decreases because suboptimal pollen levels weaken younger bees needed for precise distance assessment during the waggle dance, therefore distance miscommunication rises, rather than from altered colony temperature or pheromonal signals which respond to different constraints.
