Honey bee (Apis mellifera) and Varroa mite (Varroa destructor) toxicity data

<p>Toxicological data generated for <em>Apis mellifera</em> honey bees and an ectoparasitic mite (<em>Varroa destructor</em>) in laboratory toxicity trials are presented. Data were generated over a four-year period by members of the Varroacide Research and Testing Team (VRTT) as part of a foundational grant from the Foundation for Food and Agricultural Research (FFAR). Data may be used to explore toxicological responses of honey bees and <em>Varroa</em> mites to a wide range of natural and synthetic chemical treatments against <em>Varroa</em> infestations in honey bee colonies. Data may be collected and analyzed together with other data sets not generated by VRTT. </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: Toxicity data generated from vial and jar assays by USDA-ARS Beltsville bee lab in summer, 2019.</p> <p>File Name: Vial & Jar Data Summer 2019 USDA .csv</p><p>Resource Description: Toxicity data generated for Apis mellifera honey bees and Varrroa destructor mites from laboratory vial and jar assays in 2019 by the USDA-ARS Bee Research Lab, Beltsville MD</p></li><br><li><p>Resource Title: Honey bee (Apis mellifera) and Varroa destructor toxicity data from 2019 cage trials at USDA laboratory.</p> <p>File Name: Cage Data Summer 2019 USDA ultimate.csv</p><p>Resource Description: Bees and mites were housed together in 1 L plastic deli containers modified into cages.
