Radar tracks of bumblebee workers, 2018

Approx. 126 hours of harmonic radar recordings of bumblebee workers flying in grassland habitat, Scotland. The data include exploration and habitual flights to natural food sources. Data were collected in July 2018.

Data consists of incoming signal strengths and associated timestamps in a custom format. Data files will subsequently be processed to identify signals originating from transponders attached to bees and to extract their azimuth and range.

This data was collected as part of projects funded by Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, under grant no. EP/P006094/1, Brains on Board.

This data is currently unpublished. All the processed track files will be publicly archived on publication. Please direct any enquiries to Joseph Woodgate, j.woodgate@qmul.ac.uk.
