Nectar consumption, metabolic rate and activity datasets for bumblebees exposed to ecologically relevant radiation dose rates

This dataset contains information on the volume of nectar consumed, metabolic rate and activity of bumblebees that were exposed to environmentally relevant dose rates of ionising radiation at the University of Stirling. Data is for two connected experiments collected via direct observation in a laboratory setting. The first experiment investigates variables during and after 10-days of radiation exposure and the second investigates these variables under a dose rate gradient. Funding for this work was via the TREE project funded by the NERC, Environment Agency and Radioactive Waste Management Ltd. under the RATE programme.

Statement
All data were generated by the authors. Radiation dose rates were verified using dosimeters that were placed at each bumblebee position prior to the experiment. Environmental variables such as temperature and humidity were monitored with nine data loggers before, during and after the experiment. All calculations were checked for errors before data was accepted.
