Acrophases (Ac; hr:min) and angular deviations (AD; hr:min), mean ages (MA; days), standard deviations (SD; days), minimum (MinA) and maximum ages (MaxA), mean vectors (r), number of activities (NA), and number of marked bees observed (Nobs) in the nectar (N) and pollen (P) foraging (F) and in the exit (E) of the marked bees of colonies 1 and 2 of Plebeia remota, in the reproductive diapause (RD) and reproductive phase (RP).
