Abstract

Dataset containing data on the quantification of 5 viruses in honey bees (DWV, BQCV, ABPV, CBPV, SBV) in pools of different sizes (1, 30 or 100 bees) and according to the sampling frame (brood vs. storage) in honey bee samples. It was published by Godeau UG, Pioz MP, Dievart VD, Alaux CA, Bonjour-Dalmon ABD (INRAE) on the B-GOOD Bee Health Data Portal as part of the B-GOOD project (grant agreement 817622), funded under the EU Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme.

Executive summary

Data overview

The dataset contains data on the quantification of 5 viruses (DWV, BQCV ABPV CBPV SBV) in pools of different sizes and according to the samplign frame in honey bee samples. It was published by Godeau UG, Pioz MP, Dievart VD, Alaux CA, Bonjour-Dalmon ABD (INRAE) on the B-GOOD Bee Health Data Portal as part of the B-GOOD project (grant agreement 817622), funded under the EU Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme.

Data value

The objectives of the B-GOOD project were: (1) Facilitate decision making for beekeepers and other stakeholders by establishing ready-to-use tools for operationalising the HSI; (2) Test, standardise and validate methods for measuring and reporting selected indicators affecting bee health; (3) Explore the various socio-economic and ecological factors beyond bee health; (4) Foster an EU community to collect and share knowledge related to honey bees and their environment; (5) Engender a lasting learning and innovation system (LIS); (6) Minimise the impact of biotic and abiotic stressors.

Data application

Currently, the data integrated from the B-GOOD Bee Health Data Portal contains major issues and does not fully comply with the FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship applied on the EU Pollinator Hub. More descriptive information about the context, quality and condition, or characteristics of the data (e.g. protocols, measurement devices used, units of the captured data, or any other details about the study) must be provided. More metadata in the form of accurate explanations of all variable names must be provided.

Material and methods

Data acquisition

All raw data files were downloaded from the B-GOOD Bee Health Data Portal on 2024-09-26 18:16:38.

List of raw data obtained from the data provider.

  1. File BGOOD_Virus_Data_2018_2020 Pool size.xlsx, accessed on 2024-09-26 18:16:38, provided by B-GOOD Bee Health Data Portal

Metadata was obtained from the dataset's web page.

Data preparation

The file in the zip-archive was extracted using File Explorer (Microsoft Corporation, version 22H2).

The file GOOD_Virus_Data_2018_2020 Pool size.xlsx was opened with MS Excel (Microsoft Corporation, version 2409). The worksheets were exported to data files in CSV format (UTF-8 encoding) and imported into Notepad++ (version 8.7) where missing values were substituted by {NULL} using regular expressions. Dates were parsed to the required YYYY-MM-DD format using the python script ParseDates.py.

Data was then exported to the respective preparatory files and uploaded to the EU Pollinator Hub according to SOP-017 (Dataset integration.

Data validation

No data validation was performed.

Data analysis

No data analysis was performed.

Issues
Unresolved quality issues for Virus Data
  1. Columns DWV Cq mean, DWV Nb copies/bee, SBV Cq mean, SBV Nb copies/bee, CBPV Cq mean, CBPV Nb copies/bee, ABPV Cq mean, ABPV Nb copies/bee contain 460 occurrences of {#DIV/0!}. The data provider is requested to re-validate the data.
  2. In column BM Sample Code it seems that in 30 records a date instead of a sample number has been stored, probably the consequence of wrong column formatting by Excel. The data provider is requested to re-validate the data.
  3. For column DWV Cq mean it may be guessed, but it is not explicitly stated what it describes. The data provider is requested to make this information available.
  4. For column DWV Nb copies/bee it may be guessed, but it is not explicitly stated what it describes. The data provider is requested to make this information available.
  5. For column SBV Cq mean it may be guessed, but it is not explicitly stated what it describes. The data provider is requested to make this information available.
  6. For column SBV Nb copies/bee it may be guessed, but it is not explicitly stated what it describes. The data provider is requested to make this information available.
  7. For column BQCV Cq mean it may be guessed, but it is not explicitly stated what it describes. The data provider is requested to make this information available.
  8. For column BQCV Nb copies/bee it may be guessed, but it is not explicitly stated what it describes. The data provider is requested to make this information available.
  9. For column CBPV Cq mean it may be guessed, but it is not explicitly stated what it describes. The data provider is requested to make this information available.
  10. For column CBPF Nb copies/bee it may be guessed, but it is not explicitly stated what it describes. The data provider is requested to make this information available.
  11. For column ABPV Cq mean it may be guessed, but it is not explicitly stated what it describes. The data provider is requested to make this information available.
  12. For column ABPF Nb copies/bee it may be guessed, but it is not explicitly stated what it describes. The data provider is requested to make this information available.
