Brood survival rates in free flying colonies during different applications of 50 mM LiCl candy. A1: 2.5 kg of 50 mM LiCl candy over 9 days (n = 6); A2: 2 kg of 50 mM LiCl candy over 5 days (n = 8); A3: 4 x 0.5 kg 50 mM LiCl candy in seven-day intervals in colonies without queen caging (n = 10). For treatment A2 and A3, a subsequent brood assessment was carried out after completing the first one. Data given as boxplots for survival rate on day 16 post the brood fixing day (BFD), mean is given as an x. Total number of selected eggs on BFD were 982 (A1), 2574 (A2-1), 1600 (A2-2), 2049 (A3-1) and 2258 (A3-2). Significant differences between 1st and 2nd assessments are indicated with an asterisk (Wilcoxon Rank Sum test)
