The positive correlations between resin collection and pathogen loads were highly significant for colonies with additional propolis (Kendall’s rank correlation: V. destructor : z = 2.43, r = 0.47, p = 0.008; DWV: z = 2.58, r = 0.5, p = 0.005), but weaker (Kendall’s rank correlation: V. destructor : z = 1.89, r = 0.37, p = 0.029) or not significant (Kendall’s rank correlation: DWV: z = 1, r = 0.20, p = 0.16) for propolis removed colonies ( Figure 3 a).
