Table 1 Hygienic evaluation of the honeybee colonies studied. Hygienic behavior is calculated as a percentage based on the number of dead brood removed in 24 h. Brood were killed by liquid nitrogen
From: Differential gene expression between hygienic and non-hygienic honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) hives
Colony number | Hygienic status | Dead brood removal in 2011 (%) | Dead brood removal in 2012 (%) | Mean dead brood removal in 2011 and 2012 (%) |
