Which risk occurs if nectar sources shift during waggle dance?

A)Reduced colony thermal gradient control
B)Suboptimal foraging decision-making occurs
C)Inefficient larval nutrition allocation happens
D)Increased susceptibility to varroa mite attacks

💡 Explanation

Suboptimal foraging occurs because distance/direction communicated via the waggle dance doesn't reflect new nectar locations. Therefore, the colony expends energy inefficiently visiting depleted sources, rather than adapting to the changed environment and new food patches.
