The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding how honey bees convey information after discovering a new source of nectar or honey, we can break it down step by step: ### Step 1: Understand the Types of Dance Honey bees perform two types of dances to communicate the location of food sources: - **Tail Wagging Dance**: This dance is performed when the food source is at a significant distance. It conveys both the direction and the distance to the food source. - **Round Dance**: This dance is performed when the food source is nearby. It does not convey directional information but indicates that food is present. ### Step 2: Analyze the Options Now, let's analyze the options provided in the question: 1. **Cannot convey the direction**: This is incorrect because honey bees can convey direction through the tail wagging dance. 2. **Can convey the direction by round or tail wagging dance**: This is incorrect because the round dance does not convey direction. 3. **Can convey the direction by round dance only**: This is incorrect because the round dance does not provide directional information. 4. **Can convey the direction by tail wagging dance only**: This is correct as the tail wagging dance provides both direction and distance to the food source. ### Step 3: Conclusion Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that honey bees can convey the direction by tail wagging dance only. ### Final Answer **The correct option is: Can convey the direction by tail wagging dance only.** ---
