From: Stock-specific chemical brood signals are induced by Varroa and Deformed Wing Virus, and elicit hygienic response in the honey bee

Figure 6

Evidence of a link between chemical proportion and hygienic behavior, from Experiment 3. Sample size was 30 brood per Cell Type. For each mean, 95% CI intervals are provided. Different letters indicate significant differences in mean chemical proportion between cell types, from an ANOVA with Bonferroni correction. (a) Mean hentriacontene proportion (relative to the total chemical quantity) of VSH brood from control capped, mite capped, and mite uncapped cells. (b) Mean tritriacontene proportion (relative to the total chemical quantity) of VSH Brood from control capped, mite capped, and mite uncapped cells.
