Fig. 6: Indoor activity of the entrapment against GWM.

a Setup for trapping device containing lure and schematic of the indoor trapping experiment. b Representative images of the attraction and control effects of entrapment after 120 days. The red arrow indicates the silk-lined tunnels produced by the GWM after destroying the comb. The red box shows the area where the combs have been destroyed by the GWM. c Survival of GWM larvae after 30 days. d The comb loss rate after 120 days employing entrapment. Data are the mean ± SE of three independent biological replicates, with each including 48 larvae and 2 combs. Data are shown as the mean ± SE. A two-sided chi-square test was used to analyse the significant differences in survival rate between different groups. The Kruskal‒Wallis test was used to identify the difference in the comb loss rate between groups. The same letters above the bars indicate no significant differences between groups (P > 0.05).
