Table 1. ED₅₀ values of antibiotics in the honeybee S. aureus infection model.

Antibiotics	A. mellifera L.	A. mellifera L.	B. mori ^a	B. mori ^a
	i.c.	p.o.	i.h.	p.o.
Tetracycline	0.2^b	2	0.4	8
Vancomycin	0.02	>330	0.3	>400
Kanamycin	0.4	>330	3	>500

ED₅₀ values of tetracycline, vancomycin, and kanamycin against S. aureus infection in in-hive worker bees (n = 5) were determined 24 h after infection. Antibiotics were injected into the cavities (i.c.) or orally administered (p.o.), and live bacterial suspension of S. aureus was injected immediately after antibiotic treatment.

ED₅₀ values of B. mori were previously reported [16].
