Experimental design. I constructed two pairs of experimental colonies. Each member of the pair was identical in terms of number of individuals, age, and genetic background. One of each pair was disturbed on a chronic basis for 8 days while the other was left undisturbed to generate low (disturbed, blue) and high (undisturbed, yellow) aggression individuals. We collected and anesthetized individuals, and then combined them into groups of eight for the lab-based assay of aggression. In the second replicate (the second pair of colonies), we added two treatment groups with docile one-day-old adult bees (green)
