Fig 1. Effect of acute exposure to sublethal doses of neonicotinoid insecticides on the critical thermal maxima (CTMax) and survival of honey bee foragers.
a, b, boxplots display median, quartiles, and extreme values of CTMax. c, d, bee survival (means ± SE) during a heat stress event (43 ˚C) over 5 hours. Different letters above boxplots and at the end of each survival curve indicate significant (P <0.05) mean differences.
