From: Queen quality, performance, and winter survival of imported and domestic honey bee queen stocks
(A) Observed mean (± SE) solid brood pattern scores assayed in 2017 and 2018 from colonies located at three experimental apiary sites (i.e., North, South BK, and South RS in purple, light green, and dark green, respectively) in Alberta, Canada. Different letters among apiary sites across sampling years indicate significant differences p < 0.05. p values were adjusted for Type I error using the Bonferroni method (Table S14). (B) Observed mean (± SE) solid brood pattern scores assayed in 2017 and 2018 from colonies headed by three queen stocks (e.g., British Columbia, Hawaii, and New Zealand in yellow, red, and blue, respectively). Different letters among queen stocks across sampling years indicate significant differences p < 0.05. p values were adjusted for Type I error using the Bonferroni method (Table S14).
