TABLE 2.

Estimates and 95% confidence intervals for the coefficient of imidacloprid

Response Estimated coefficient 95% confidence interval Estimated % reduction 95% confidence interval
No. live bees −0.81 (−1.36, −0.26) 55% (23%, 74%)
No. healthy brood cells −1.22 (−2.00, −0.45) 71% (36%, 86%)
Total bee mass in nest −0.85 (−1.58, −0.12) 57% (11%, 79%)
Final mass of nest −0.19 (−0.32, −0.05) 17% (5%, 27%)

The coefficient would be zero in the absence of an effect; negative values indicate a negative impact of imidacloprid. Also shown are the corresponding estimates and 95% confidence intervals for the percent reduction of the response variable in the presence of imidacloprid.
