“Tukey” letters denote significant differences within each type using post-hoc Tukey tests (α = 0.05). “Type” sections were analyzed independently from each other as were the two DWV types. For “Treatment,” all tissue types and bee stocks were pooled; for “Tissue,” all treatments and stocks were pooled; and for “Stock” all treatments and tissue types were pooled for analyses.
