> Queen survival during the first 9 months accounted for the major difference between the 2 groups; of the IIS queens, 37 out of 59 (63%) survived the first 9 months (August-May), whereas 50 out of 59 (85%) of the NM queens survived that period. *
To put it differently, 15% of the naturally mated queens didn't even live one year, while almost 40% of the IIS queens failed before a year. Not so hot, eh?
