• Bumblebee queen mortality and behaviour along roads with varying traffic and road verges with contrasting flowering plant diversity

This study makes part of the research project GINFRA – green rights-of-way infrastructure for biodiversity and ecosystem services. The aim of the project was to quantify whether linear infrastructure habitats (road verge...

• Unique brood ester profile in a Varroa destructor resistant population of European honey bee (Apis mellifera)

Data of chemical compounds extracted from honey bee (Apis mellifera) brood in a varroa resistant and varroa susceptible population. Samples were taken 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36 hours after brood capping by immersing pupae...

• Data on how honeybee host brood traits influence Varroa destructor reproduction

The data set was collected in Uppsala Sweden between 2019 and 2021. Hives were established using varroa resistant queens from Oslo, Norway (n = 3), Gotland Sweden, (n = 5), and Avignon, France (n = 4), with a varroa susc...

• Data from: Undersowing oats with clovers supports pollinators and suppresses arable weeds without reducing yields

We studied the effects of undersowing oats with a mixture of three annual clovers species across different aspects of cropping system multi-functionality using 26 observation plots in a paired field design with 13 fields...

• Species richness of vascular plants, butterflies and bumblebees in linear infrastructure habitats and the historical and present grassland cover in a 2 km buffer surrounding each habitat

This data set comprises the species richness of vascular plants, butterflies and bumblebees in linear infrastructure habitats (road verges and power lines) and the historical and present grassland cover in a 2 km buffer ...

• Dataset for "Traffic intensity and vegetation management affect flower-visiting insects and their response to resources in road verges"

This data set comprises the flower density and abundance, richness and evenness of wild bees and butterflies in 37 road verges in Skåne county in southern Sweden, as well as information about the respective road verge wi...

• Data for "Plant identity and traits determine pollinator, natural enemy, herbivore and decomposer abundances in flower plantings"

We evaluated 27 candidate plant species for their ability to host functionally important above- and below-ground organisms — pollinators, natural enemies, herbivores, and decomposers — and assessed how the plant traits f...

• Data for: Early season mass-flowering crop cover dilutes wild bee abundance and species richness in temperate regions: a quantitative synthesis

The dataset combines 22 datasets from 13 publications conducted in 9 temperate countries (20 European and 2 North American). The data was used to investigate if mass-flowering crop flowering time (early or late season), ...

• Data on the interactive effects of insect pollination, weed removal and fungicide application on bumble bee foraging behaviour and faba bean yield

Insect pollinators provide important crop pollination services but are declining in response to lack of diverse flower resources and exposure to pesticides. Despite increasing evidence that the benefits of insect pollina...

• Data from: Lactic acid bacteria in Swedish honeybees during outbreaks of American Foulbrood

In this study DNA extracted from honeybees was analysed using qPCR for the presence and quantity of different honeybee-specific lactic acid bacteria. The aim was to investigate if presence of the disease American foulbro...
