Read the passage below carefully and answer the question that follows:
For generations, traditional honey harvesters in the Miombo woodlands of Mpanda, Tanzania, relied on bark hives suspended high in the forest canopy. While effective, harvesting required stripping mature trees of their outer bark to construct replacement hives each season, gradually thinning the dense canopy and exposing lower flora to desiccation. In recent years, local conservation collectives introduced transitional top-bar hives made from recycled timber and placed on ground stands. Although these modern hives yielded less honey per harvest during the initial two years, participating gatherers noted a marked recovery in wildflower density and a stabilization of ambient forest humidity. Surprisingly, even as individual hive yields plummeted temporarily, household earnings among participating gatherers remained stable, buffered by a growing market demand for certified organic beeswax among regional cosmetic manufacturers who paid premium rates for residue-free wax. Consequently, non-participating gatherers in neighboring districts, initially skeptical of the lower honey volume, have begun negotiating with conservation agents to acquire transitional hives.
Which of the following can be logically inferred from the passage regarding the adoption of transitional top-bar hives?
- The financial returns from high-value organic beeswax offset the income lost from reduced honey volumes.Cevap
- BTraditional bark hives produced honey that contained harmful chemical residues derived from mature tree bark.
- CNon-participating gatherers in neighboring districts completely abandoned honey harvesting due to falling regional prices.
- DTransitional top-bar hives immediately produced a higher volume of honey per harvest than traditional canopy hives.
