Population responses of honeybees to oilseed rape neonicotinoid seed treatments in Hungary, Germany and the UK

The data set describes the effects of three neonicotinoid seed treatments (clothianidin, thiamethoxam and a control) applied to winter sown oilseed rape in Hungary, Germany and the UK on honeybees (Apis mellifera). The data describes population responses in terms of European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) primary (colony strength and overwintering success) and secondary assessment endpoints for the response of honeybees to exposure to the neonicotinoids. Information on expression of neonicotinoids in the pollen and nectar from the crop or collected by bees is also included, as well as details of honeybee diseases and foraging preferences. This research was undertaken by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology in 2015 and was funded by Syngenta Ltd. and Bayer CropScience.

本数据集详述了三种尼螨啉类种子处理剂（氯虫苯甲酰胺、噻虫嗪及对照组）在匈牙利、德国及英国冬季播种的油菜上对蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）的影响。数据从欧洲食品安全局（EFSA）的初级（蜂群强度及越冬成功率）及次级评估指标出发，描述了蜜蜂对尼螨啉类农药暴露的响应。数据中还包括了作物花粉和花蜜中尼螨啉类农药的表达情况，以及蜜蜂疾病和觅食偏好等详细信息。此项研究由生态与水文研究中心于2015年进行，并由先正达有限公司和拜耳作物科学公司资助。关于此数据集的详细信息可查阅https://doi.org/10.5285/eac530fe-54ad-4570-83d3-c59e70c0af9d。
