When compared to the water control, mortality induced by quinine was highly significant (quinine 100 mM: Z = 6.37, p <0.001; quinine 10 mM: Z = 5.34, p <0.001).
When compared to the water control, mortality induced by quinine was highly significant (quinine 100 mM: Z = 6.37, p <0.001; quinine 10 mM: Z = 5.34, p <0.001).
Bees having ingested NaCl 3 M and quinine 100 mM exhibited highest and similar mortality levels ( Z = 0.63, NS ) so that their probability of survival decreased dramatically following ingestion; feeding of water induced only a slight but not significant increase of mortality at the end of the experiment probably due to exhaustion (240 min); salicine 100 mM induced intermediate mortality levels and comparison to the water group was marginally non-significant ( Z = 1.78, p = 0.07).
