Figure 3

Effect of the mimic odours on the activity of colonies that pollinate apple or pear trees. Percentage of blooming of the dominant variety of apple tree (A) or pear trees (B) during the experimental period. Colonies were fed either unscented sucrose solution (SS) or apple mimic-scented sucrose solution (SS + AM) (C) or pear mimic-scented sucrose solution (SS + PM) (D). Incoming bees were calculated as the counts after the offering of the solutions (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 days). Asterisks indicate significant differences between the specified treatments (***, p < 0.001; **, p < 0.01). Circles indicate the mean values and bars show the 95% confidence intervals. Numbers between brackets indicate the number of colonies monitored per treatment. Package ‘glmmTMB’ version 1.1.4. https://github.com/glmmTMB/glmmTMB.
