Fig 5. Boxplot of compound groups of CHC from honeybees with different health status (Experiment II): Alkanes (A), Alkenes (B), Alkadienes (C) and Branched alkanes (D).

CHC were extracted from honeybees fed on EO-enriched diets (2 EOEb harvested at different times, applied at 3000 ppm) with different health status. No significant differences were found (ANOVA, GLM, with post-test Tukey comparisons, p > 0.05 in all cases, see Table 2) for either of the CHC groups between healthy and Nosema-infected honeybees.
