Table 4. Mean total hemocyte count of honey bees from groups subjected to chronic exposure to ZMSJ pollen, ZMKCKC pollen and non-Bt pollen after 7 days.
Treatment | Total hemocyte count ± SD (µl) | ||
ZMSJ | 600.0±63.5 | ||
ZMKCKC | 571.7±24.0 | ||
Control | 545.0±46.7 | ||
Source of variation | df | χ2 | P value |
Food type | 2 | 1.43 | 0.49 |
Replicate | 4 | 1.03 | 0.90 |
Food type × replicate | 8 | 3.79 | 0.88 |
Statistics from the log linear model used to analyze the total hemocyte count of honey bees at the end of the oral chronic exposure period among treatments (food type factor) and as function of replicate factor (five replicates per food type with six individual bees per replicate).
