Bee Nutrition Data on Essential Amino Acids in Pollen Protein

260.8 KB Excel file from figshare authored by Geraldine Wright, last updated May 2026. The dataset likely contains measurements of essential amino acid profiles in pollen, bee bread, honeybees, and royal jelly. It supports research on how nutritional constraints in pollen impact bee feeding behavior and performance.

Use Cases

• Analyze nutritional constraints on bees based on essential amino acid profiles in pollen.
• Model bee feeding behavior based on protein-to-carbohydrate regulation data.
• Study bee performance metrics based on food consumption and weight gain measurements.
• Investigate bee bread as an adaptation based on comparisons of pollen and bee bread amino acid profiles.

Strengths

• 260.8 KB file size indicates a focused dataset.
• CC-BY-4.0 license allows for open reuse and modification.
• Description details specific measured substances: pollen, bee bread, honeybees, and royal jelly.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
