Errors on genetic parameter estimates for sire modeling scenarios for controlled mating and parameter set 1. Black diamond-shaped points indicate the relative bias on genetic variances, and black lines the regression lines of relative errors of variance estimates of worker effects on that of queen effects. The first row of graphs is from scenarios using single sire mating (SS) as the controlled mating strategy in the simulation, while the second row is from scenarios using, pseudo sire mating (PS). From left to right, results were obtained with sire pedigree modeling scenarios for controlled mating assigning: single sires (C_SS_P); a dummy single sire per dam of DPQs (C_dummySSp/DPQdam); a dummy single sire for each mating (C_dummySS_P/Q); and pseudo sires (C_PS_P)
