UrBAN: Urban Beehive Acoustics and PheNotyping Dataset

We present a multimodal dataset obtained from a honey bee colony in Montréal, Quebec, Canada, spanning years from 2021 to 2022. This apiary comprised of 10 beehives, with microphones recording more than 2000 hours of high quality raw audio, and also sensors capturing temperature, and humidity. Periodic hive inspections involved monitoring colony honey bee population changes, assessing queen-related conditions, and documenting overall hive health. Additionally, health metrics, such as Varroa mite infestation rates and winter mortality assessments were recorded, offering valuable insights into factors affecting hive health status and resilience.本研究构建了一套取自加拿大魁北克省蒙特利尔一处蜂群的多模态数据集，采集时间跨度为2021至2022年。该养蜂场共设置10个蜂箱，通过麦克风采集了超过2000小时的高质量原始音频数据，同时搭载传感器记录温度与湿度信息。研究团队定期开展蜂箱巡检工作，监测蜂群的蜜蜂种群数量变化、评估蜂王相关状态，并记录蜂箱整体健康状况。此外，研究还记录了瓦螨（Varroa mite）侵染率、越冬死亡率等健康指标，为探究影响蜂箱健康状态与抗逆性的相关因素提供了宝贵的参考依据。
