Figure 1.

Survival rate of newly emerged bees fed syrup or honey base-diets, supplemented with β-glucans (0.5% w/w), and control groups. Each curve indicates the sum of three replicates per group. The bars indicate the standard error calculated on the survival of the three replicates per each group. H = honey; S = syrup; 0, 0.5 = % (w/w) 1,3-1,6 β-glucans.
