Curiously, we observed that colonies headed by queens reared in treated wax had a lower number of varroa mites per bee and this effect was marginally significant ( P = 0.053).

However, this difference was only marginally statistically significant (Whole Model F (2,15) = 2.20, P = 0.14; Pollen treatment: F (1,1) = 4.10, P = 0.06) and this was most likely the result of the reduced sample size and high variance.
