Bee Land-use Change Project

The Bee Land-use Change Project dataset comprises the records of all pinned Bombus hortorum, B.hypnorum, B.lapidarius, B.muscorum, B.pascuorum, B.ruderatus and B.sylvarum material collected in the UK and housed at the Natural History Museum, London. The dataset comprises 6753 specimens.

Specimen labels were removed from each specimen and imaged alongside the specimen. Dorsal images were taken of each specimen. Each specimen record has been published with a unique identifier (barcode), taxon information, label metadata transcription, locality georeferencing and an image capturing both the specimen and its associated labels.

This collection was digitised as part of the Museum's Digital Collections Programme and funded by NERC award NE/P012914/1 "Bee sensitivity to a century of agricultural land-use change".

蜜蜂土地利用变化项目数据集包含所有采集自英国、现馆藏于伦敦自然历史博物馆的针插标本记录，涉及熊蜂属（Bombus）的红束熊蜂（B. hortorum）、烟熊蜂（B. hypnorum）、拉普兰熊蜂（B. lapidarius）、毛足熊蜂（B. muscorum）、平原熊蜂（B. pascuorum）、红尾熊蜂（B. ruderatus）及林熊蜂（B. sylvarum）。该数据集共计6753号标本。
研究人员将每件标本的标签取下后，与标本一同进行成像，并为每件标本拍摄背面图像。每件标本的记录均附带唯一标识符（barcode）、分类学信息、标签元数据转录文本、产地地理坐标信息，以及包含标本及其关联标签的图像。
本数据集的数字化工作作为伦敦自然历史博物馆数字馆藏计划的一部分开展，由自然环境研究委员会（NERC）资助项目NE/P012914/1「蜜蜂对百年农业土地利用变化的敏感性（Bee sensitivity to a century of agricultural land-use change）」提供资金支持。
