Figure 7
Distribution of mites in the direct contact assays. Mites found on the glass are shown in blue, mites found on the abdomen of either bee in the dish are shown in red and mites found on either bee but not on the abdomen are shown in green. Bars represent the mean ± S. E. of 5 replicates. Data analysed by comparing between each treatment dose for mite distribution (glass, abdomen or not abdomen) and control at one time point by one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s test. Significant differences between the number of mites on the glass for a treatment dose to the control are indicated with a star (*P < 0.01; **P < 0.001). Significant differences between the numbers of mites on the abdomen for a treatment dose to the control are indicated with a dagger (†P < 0.01; ††P < 0.001).
