Caption

The first 33 seconds are within the nest. We observe an infected (I) individual in trophallaxis -- adult social feeding behavior -- with an individual from the sham (G) treatment group. During the next 17 seconds we have observations performed outside of the nest in which an infected individual (I) performs trophallaxis with an individual from the healthy treatment group (H).
