==================================================
AC3 Bee Hunting Dataset from Pedro Falú Orellano School Río Grande, Puerto Rico
==================================================

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
--------------------------------------------------

This dataset contains Bee Hunting data collected at Pedro Falú School in Río Grande, Puerto Rico, using three different feeder locations. The data are organized into six Excel files corresponding to bee arrivals (entradas), departures (salidas) and departures flight angles (0°-360°) recorded at each feeder location.

Each feeder location was evaluated on a different day, and data collection sessions lasted approximately two hours per location. Each workbook contains multiple sheets associated with individual bees clasified based on the color and the number of the tag used for each group.

The datasets include repeated foraging trips of individual bees and recorded arrival times, departure times, and departure flight angles of honey bees.

This datasets can be use for studies related to honey bee behavior, navigation, circular statistics, temporal analyses, behavioral ecology, data science education, and reproducible statistical workflows.

In addition this dataset can be explore using various applications that we have developed and are listed in the 5. COMPATIBLE APPLICATIONS section.
