Survey questionnaire and data of health management strategies of stress tolerant honey bee genotypes throughout southern California

The dataset includes two primary components: (1) a survey questionnaire, which outlines the full set of questions designed to investigate beekeeping practices, colony health management strategies, and environmental conditions; and (2) the corresponding survey data, containing anonymized responses from 121 participants, primarily hobbyist beekeepers across Southern California. The data capture key variables such as colony origin, disease management practices, spending patterns, and perceptions of colony health.
The dataset is structured to facilitate efficient analysis, with coded responses and clearly defined variables. It holds significant reuse potential for researchers examining honey bee health, sustainable apiculture practices, and the economic implications of different management strategies. Additionally, these data may benefit stakeholders in environmental policy, sustainable agriculture, and beekeeping education.
Ethical considerations were carefully addressed, with data anonymi..., The data were collected via a Qualtrics-based online survey distributed to participants during the 2023 University of California Riverside Center for Integrative Bee Research (CIBER) Honey Bee Health Conference. The survey featured multiple-choice, ranking, and open-ended questions to explore beekeeping practices and colony management strategies. Data were systematically coded and reviewed for accuracy before analysis.
This dataset provides a valuable resource for future research exploring the resilience of stress-tolerant honey bee genotypes and the socioeconomic factors influencing beekeeping practices.

## Description of the data and file structure

This dataset was collected as part of a study investigating the health management strategies of stress-tolerant honey bee genotypes in Southern California. The research aimed to compare the beekeeping practices, disease management strategies, and economic implications associated with three honey bee colony types: Managed, Survivor, and Mixed genotypes.

Data were collected through a Qualtrics-based survey administered to beekeepers during the 2023 University of California Riverside Center for Integrative Bee Research (CIBER) Honey Bee Health Conference. The survey included 35 questions covering key topics such as colony origins, disease management practices, pest deterrents, and annual costs associated with maintaining bee colonies.

The datase..., This dataset contains anonymized survey data collected from beekeepers who participated in a study on honey bee health and management practices. All participants provided explicit informed consent for their anonymized responses to be shared in the public domain. Identifiable information such as names, contact details, and precise geographic locations has been removed to ensure participant confidentiality. The dataset complies with the University of California Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocols (HS 22-135) and Dryad's human subjects data standards.

本数据集包含两大核心组成部分：(1) 调查问卷：涵盖用于探究养蜂实践、蜂群健康管理策略与环境条件的全部调研题目；(2) 对应调查数据：包含121名参与者的匿名回复，参与者主要为南加州的业余养蜂人。数据收录了蜂群来源、病害管理措施、消费模式以及蜂群健康认知等关键变量。

本数据集的结构设计便于高效开展分析，采用编码化回复与明确定义的变量。其对于研究蜜蜂健康、可持续养蜂实践以及不同管理策略的经济影响的研究者而言，具有极高的复用价值。此外，此类数据亦可惠及环境政策、可持续农业与养蜂教育领域的利益相关方。

伦理考量已得到审慎处理，数据已完成匿名化……本次数据通过基于Qualtrics的在线问卷收集，发放对象为2023年加州大学河滨分校整合蜜蜂研究中心（Center for Integrative Bee Research, CIBER）蜜蜂健康会议的参会者。问卷包含选择题、排序题与开放式问题，用于探究养蜂实践与蜂群管理策略。数据在正式分析前已完成系统化编码与准确性校验。

本数据集为未来探究耐胁迫蜜蜂基因型的抗逆性以及影响养蜂实践的社会经济因素的研究提供了宝贵资源。鼓励研究者参考相关手稿，以获取本研究发现与分析的详细见解。

## 数据与文件结构说明

本数据集为一项探究南加州耐胁迫蜜蜂基因型健康管理策略的研究的组成部分。该研究旨在对比三种蜂群类型——经管理选育型（Managed）、自然存活型（Survivor）与混合基因型（Mixed genotypes）相关的养蜂实践、病害管理策略及经济影响。

数据通过基于Qualtrics的在线问卷收集，于2023年加州大学河滨分校整合蜜蜂研究中心（CIBER）蜜蜂健康会议期间面向养蜂人发放。问卷共包含35道题目，涵盖蜂群来源、病害管理措施、害虫防控手段以及维持蜂群的年度成本等核心议题。
