Sampling locations of ITBs and RJBs from China. Honey bees were sampled from six RJB and six ITB hives located on the rooftop of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Beijing, China (i.e. urban, pictured in top right) and from six RJB hives located in Zhuzhangzi township, Qinglong County, Qinhuangdao, Hebei province, China (i.e. rural, pictured in bottom left). The mean monthly temperature high and low and mean amount of precipitation for each location are shown in the bottom panel. The rural location is cooler in terms of average monthly temperature high and low and also receives higher precipitation, particularly during the summer when bees were sampled (June 2018). The graph was created based on climate data from https://www.timeanddate.com
