Table 3. Summary table of main results for both acute (experiment 1) and chronic exposure (experiment 2).

Response variable Acute exposure (Expt 1) Chronic exposure (Expt 2)
Trainability Negative effect at 250 ppb No effect
Learning level (all bees) Negative effect at 10 and 250 ppb No effect
Learning level (only bees that were trainable) No effect No effect
Learning speed No effect Negative effect at 2.4 and 10 ppb
Memory No effect Negative effect at 2.4 ppb

“No effect” indicates that there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) between any pesticide exposure levels (2.4, 10 and 250 ppb for acute experiment, 2.4 and 10 ppb for chronic experiment) and the control treatment. This table is for illustration purposes only as experiment 1 and 2 are not directly comparable due to differences in methodologies.
