Full description

This experiment was conducted to determine if Apis cerana, which shares an evolutionary history with Nosema ceranae, would be more likely to detect and avoid the pathogen Nosema ceranae than A. mellifera, which is a novel host of the pathogen. The dataset shows individual responses of 106 A. mellifera workers and 96 A. cerana workers to a series of nine Proboscis Extension Reflex assays in which the bees were offered either a sucrose-only solution or a sucrose solution containing Nosema ceranae spores.  The concentration of the spore-containing solutions progressively increased and alternated with the sucrose-only solutions. 

Software/equipment used to create/collect the data: Microsoft Excel as part of Microsoft Office Professional 2016

Software/equipment used to manipulate/analyse the data: R version 3.6.1

For details on Proboscis Extension Reflex assays see Takeda K (1960) Classical conditioned response in the honey bee. Journal of Insect Physiology 6: 168--179. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2982.2005.00691.x
This dataset is available as a workbook saved in both MS Excel (.xlsx) and Open Document (.ods) formats. The workbook consists of 2 sheets: Metadata (variable labels and descriptions) and the data file (PER responses by bee)
