Nutritional physiology of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) workers across an agricultural land use gradient dataset
December 20, 2018
These data describe land use (summed hectares of agricultural crops: corn, soy, and small grains), individual honey bee nutrition, honey bee colony population size, and proportional honey bee colony survival among 36 apiaries across Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

Nutritional status of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) workers across an agricultural land-use gradient
Land use and habitat quality have emerged as critical factors influencing the health, productivity, and survival of honey bee colonies. However, characterization of the mechanistic relationship between differential land-use conditions and ultimate outcomes for honey bee colonies has been elusive. We assessed the physiological health of individual worker honey bees in colonies stationed across a g
