Data From: Do diet and Fumagillin treatment impact Vairimorpha (Nosema) spp. (Microspora: Nosematidae) infections in honey bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) and improve survival and growth of colonies overwintered in cold storage?
dataset
posted on 2024-08-30, 21:17 authored by Gloria DeGrandi-Hoffman, Vanessa Corby-Harris, Richard Graham, Mona Chambers, Emily Watkins-deJong, Lucy SnyderThe data set contains two years of data on honey bee colony sizes expressed as frames (combs) of adult bees and brood, Varroa mites counted per 100 bees and Vairimorpha (Nosema) spp. spores in worker bees in each colony. The data set also contains measurement of fat body weights, protein and lipid concentrations made prior to and after colonies were overwintered in cold storage. In the year-2 data set, colony measurements, Nosema and Varroa mite counts and fat body metrics were separated by treatment group. The treatment groups were: colonies fed pollen or protein supplement and treated with Fumagillin for Nosema and colonies fed the same diets but not treated with Fumagillin for Nosema.

Ag Data CommonsIntended use
The data can be used to determine the effects of Nosema infections on overwintering survival of colonies overwintered in cold storage. The effects on colony survival and size after overwintering and pollination of almond also can be evaluated. The data also can be used to determine relationships between Nosema infection and fat body metrics. Relationships between fat body metrics and colony survival, size and brood production after overwintering also can be determined.Use limitations
Estimates of fat body metrics might differ depending on where honey bees are sampled and their level of nutrition. Trends for colony population sizes especially the lack of brood prior to cold storage is due to their location in temperate environments and may differ in colonies located in southern latitudes. Effects of Nosema infections on colony size and survival were determined in colonies overwintered in cold storage and might differ when colonies overwinter outdoors.Temporal Extent Start Date
