What happens if the female bee's colour patterns change during evolution?

What happens if the female bee's colour patterns change during evolution?
  1. The orchid flower will co:evolve to maintain the resemblance of its petal to the female bee.
  2. The bee will stop 'pseudocopulating' with the orchid flower.
  3. The pollination success will increase.
  4. The pollination success will remain unchanged.

Solution

If the female bee's colour patterns change during evolution, the pollination success will be reduced unless the orchid flower co:evolves to maintain the resemblance of its petal to the female bee.
