Dataset for publication: Erdem, B., Sevin, S., Arslan, A. C., Gozen, A. G., Alemdar, H., Turgut, A. E., & Sahin, E. (2026). Caste-specific proboscis extension responses in honey bees to sucrose and royal jelly stimuli. BioRxiv. https://doi.org/BIORXIV/2026/701277 Proboscis extension responses (PER) were found in the files. PER is a binary outcome (0 or 1) recorded repeatedly across trials. Each bee received a total of 60 trials presented in a pseudorandom order (S, W, RJ, M, S, M, W, RJ, M, S, W, RJ, M, W, S, RJ, M, W, RJ, S, W, S, RJ, M, S, M, W, RJ, M, S, W, RJ, M, W, S, RJ, M, W, RJ, S, W, S, RJ, M, S, M, W, RJ, M, S, W, RJ, M, W, S, RJ, M, W, RJ, S), where S = sucrose, W = water, RJ = royal jelly, and M = mixture, each stimulus appears 15 times overall with no consecutive repeats. Forager_PER_Data.xlsx is the PER of forager bees. Queen_PER_Data.xlsx is the PER of the queen bees. 1DayOld_PER_Data.xlsx is the PER of the 1-day-old workers.
