Bee numbers. Number of bees (adults + cocoons), queens (adult queens + queen cocoons), adult males and adult workers per bumblebee colony (32 per treatment) in relation to treatment (white, control; grey, clothianidin seed coating) in oilseed rape fields (8 per treatment). The error bars represent 95% profile confidence intervals of linear mixed-effects model estimates. Circles indicate measured values (per colony). NS not significant (P > 0.05), ***P < 0.001. P-values were calculated by likelihood ratio tests on (generalised) linear mixed-effects models
