Table 3. P- value of associations between allele homozygosity and colony phenotypes.

Colony phenotypes	Homozygous 178 bp band	Homozygous 207 bp band
% Varroa-infested brood removed (donor comb)	0.641	0.905
% Varroa-infested brood removed (brood section)	0.740	0.828
% brood removal (brood section)	0.503	0.025**
% opened brood (brood section)	0.489	0.090
% manipulated brood * (brood section)	0.767	0.078
% reproductive foundress* (resident brood)	0.034**	0.144
% foundress with viable progeny* (resident brood)	0.597	0.451
% infestation (resident brood)	0.631	0.188
% recapped cells (resident brood)	0.290	0.340

Percentage of Varroa-infested brood removed was calculated as the % change in Varroa infestation of donor combs. Manipulated brood = brood removed + opened brood;

*reproductive foundress mites = produced one or more progeny; viable progeny = with adult male and young daughter.

**significant at P < 0.05.
