Figures & Tables

Fig. 1

(A) Location of experimental honey bee colonies and feeding stations (FS1 and FS2) in the plantation. (B) Experimental setup of experiment 1. Training phase, foragers are trained to collect sucrose from both feeders (grey circles). Basal phase, foragers visiting each feeder were counted. Exposure phase, the FS2 was removed and a new one containing Acttra/Entrust was offered (black circle). Returning phase consisted of putting back sucrose solution in FS2. Each phase, except training, lasted 20 min.
