Figure 1.

Mean bee wet weight, protein levels, and carbohydrate levels of bees samples from all colonies, regardless of treatment, at three sampling time points during three seasons (fall, spring, and summer). Pesticide treatment had no significant effect on the variables examined, so the data were pooled across the different treatments (three pesticides and control, untreated colonies) for each sampling period within each season (A) fall 2012 (B) spring 2013 (C) summer 2013. Significant differences are indicated by different lowercase letters (α = 0.05).
