Radar tracks of bumblebee workers, 2021

Approx. 200 hours of harmonic radar recordings of bumblebee workers undertaking their first flights out of the nest, recorded in an agricultural landscape at Rothamsted Research, Herts. Data were collected fron July-October 2021.

Data consists of approx 2.5TB of data files in a custom format giving incoming signal strengths and associated timestamps. 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This data is currently unpublished.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.
