Foraging onset age (left) and foraging lifespan (right): Foraging onset is defined as the first time a bee takes a flight outside her hive and foraging lifespan as the timespan between her first and last flight. Both values are displayed in days on the y-axis. Boxes range from first to the third quartile, whiskers extend to 1.5 times the interquartile range and values outside this range are plotted as individual points. Green boxes represent dsRNA treated bees (n = 381), red boxes miticide-treated bees (n = 405) and yellow boxes untreated bees (n = 191). Significance brackets indicate these groups were significantly different (p < 0.05). Asterisks indicate significance levels: p ≤ 0.05: *, p ≤ 0.01: ** and p ≤ 0.001: ***.
