I'm still learning how to use r and I have some trouble making an effect plot based on Tukey posthoc tests. I have a dataset with 3 colonies (A, B and C, see below). Each colony is divided into 2 treatments: control and DWV. I have to run a GLM to test wether there is a difference of life expectancy last.scan between the treatment groups for each of the colonies. I have taken 'treatment' as a fixed factor and 'colony' as a random factor.

I used the following code:

fit_life = lmer(last.scan~treatment + (1|colony), data = data)
Anova(fit_life, type = 3)

I also need the 95% confidence limits, but I am not sure if I use the correct command:

confint(lsmeans(fit_life, list(~treatment)), type = "response")

The following command gives me the results of the Tukey posthoc tests for the treatments, but I want a Tukey test that gives me the difference between treatment in each colony. How can I do that?

mcp = glht(fit_life, linfct = mcp(treatment = "Tukey"))
summary(mcp)
# DWV treatment significantly changes life expectancy (z = -9.734, p = < 2e-16)

With the results of the posthoc test, I want to make an effect plot like the one shown here, but I do not know what command to use.enter image description here

Here is an example of the dataset:
