var(ranef(Random Effect)) not the same as the variance component

Dimitris Rizopoulos 
Yes, you do not expect these two be the same. The variance components are the prior variances of the random effects, whereas var(ranef(model)) is the variance of the posterior means/modes of the random effects.

Best,
Dimitris
