<p>Data for Shackleton et al. 2016. Quality versus quantity: Foraging decisions in the honeybee<br> (<em>Apis mellifera scutellata</em>) feeding on wildflower nectar and fruit juice. Ecology and Evolution (accepted).</p> <p>Sheet 1 has data for bees gaining weight while foraging on three resources.</p> <p>Sheet 2 has data for crop sugar contents of foraging bees on three resources.</p> <p>Sheet 3 has data for the visitation rate of foraging bees on three resources.</p> <p>Sheet 4 has data for the time budgets of foraging bees on three resources.</p> <p>Sheet 5 has weight and crop sugar concentration data for bees returning to hives.</p> <p>Sheet 6 has data for the number of foragers throughout the day on three resources.</p
