Similarly, mites with varnished idiosoma preferred a nurse to a forager bee, though this was almost significant after 24 h (Chi-Square = 3.47, df = 1, p = 0.06) ( Figure 2 B).

Among the mites that remained alive and fed (as was noticed by the presence of the white patch of secretions on the cell wall), fewer mites with varnished forelegs reproduced than the unvarnished and idiosoma-varnished mites, though this difference was only close to significance (Chi-Square = 4.941, df = 2, p = 0.084) ( Figure 5 B).
