Question
As depicted in the diagram, honeybees communicate the location of flower patches to members of their
hives with waggle dances that give information about the direction and distance to the flowers. Which of the
following statements about how honeybees communicate the position of flower patches is most consistent
with the model?
 
a. The total area covered by any waggle dance leads bees to the target flowers.
 
b. The farther the target flowers from the hive, the longer the waggle phase.
 
c. The angle of the waggle phase relative to the vertical plane indicates the position of the target flowers relative to another beehive.
 
d.The number of repetitions of the waggle dance indicates the quality of the pollen source.
