Fig 3. Concentrations of Ss1 obtained from bees and V. destructor examined in the study.

Fig 3

Hemolymph from SIW, AIW, and SID experimental groups of living bees was collected and assayed by serial dilution and aerobic culture for Ss1 on LB agar. For individual mites (V. destructor), the value represents the density of bacteria in the 3 μl water extract prepared as described in the Methods. The data represent n = 14 for AIW, and n = 16 for SIW and SID. One-way ANOVA confirmed the concentration of Ss1 in AIW was significantly lower (P<0.05) when compared with both SIW and SID.
