Abstract
A free-mating population of the honey bee, Apis mellifera L., was evaluated for response to Nosema apis, longevity, and hoarding behavior. The population varied for all 3 characteristics. Response to Nosema and hoarding behavior fit normal distributions. Longevity responses were significantly skewed to the right. Response to Nosema and longevity was significantly cor related with rs = 0.51.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
