For many generations, the flowers in a meadow have been pollinated by a particular species of honeybee. One year, a new species of honeybee moves into the meadow. This new species pollinates the same flowers as the old species. Which description best predicts what would happen if a new species of honeybee moves into a meadow that was already occupied by a particular honeybee that pollinated the meadow? A. The meadow would be pollinated by both species of honeybee and both species of honeybee would thrive.
B. The established species must move away and allow the new species to pollinate the meadow.
C. Each species of honeybee will alternate pollinating the meadow and sharing the niche.
D. The honeybees cannot occupy the same niche and, therefore, one species will find a new ecosystem with a niche it can occupy.
