Abstract
This dataset contains data from the project “Research project on field data collection for honey bee colony model evaluation”. Field data collection was outsourced by ESFA to public research organisations and carried out in 6 experimental apiaries in Denmark and Portugal, with the main field observations being conducted in 2019 and 2020. Climate variables were recorded continuously, and availability of floral resources was mapped regularly in the landscapes surrounding each apiary (within an area of 1.5 km radius). Adult bee population, brood and provision were assessed approximately every three weeks in experimental colonies. Furthermore, the weight of colonies was logged continuously during the field seasons by automatic hive scales. At four sites, foraging activity was monitored continuously in 1-2 colonies in 2019 and 2020. Spatial foraging was decoded from honey bee waggle dances observed once per month in four apiaries, at the same time as floral mapping. Finally, samples for analysis of diseases (varroa, Nosema and viruses), pesticide residues and botanical composition of pollen were collected. All data were organized in the present relational database.
