Odds Ratios for the fixed effects from the final model, with 95% confidence intervals.

<p>Fixed model terms are acetamiprid or thiacloprid present in honey, bee bread or bees in summer 2011, rape/mustard present in bee bread in summer 2011, attributed postal code random effects 2011–2012 (PC 2012 effects) and varroa mite load in October 2011. For the categorical factors, the odds ratio is the odds of loss for colonies with acetamiprid/thiacloprid present divided by the odds for colonies with these absent, and similarly for oilseed rape/mustard, i.e. the proportional increase or decrease in the odds. For the continuous terms, the odds ratio is the proportional increase in the odds of loss for an increase of 1 unit in the value of the continuous variable.</p
