Surviving workers, number of larvae, and number of eggs were analyzed with Poisson distributions, and larval and egg weight with Gaussian distributions. The lower values show the same analysis with available nectar resources per tent included as a covariate. Bold indicates P < 0.05; italics indicate P < 0.055.
