Description

SurvBee is a living, curated database that compiles published and unpublished estimates of survival and demographic parameters of wild-living western honeybee (Apis mellifera) colonies across Europe and worldwide. Its purpose is to provide a transparent, citable resource for comparative analyses, IUCN-relevant assessments, and reproducible population projections that can be updated as new studies become available. Each release contains a curated dataset snapshot and a short accompanying report describing scope, inclusion rules, and the current summary outputs.
