We demonstrate that pesticide-induced accelerated lipid decline shifts foraging preference to fattier pollen. Dataset contains 5 separate csv files 1. FatbodyxPollenLipidContent.csv = the fatbody and pollen lipid content data from Experiment #3 2. ForagingTripsObservations.csv = Column "Bee" uses the abbreviation "UN" to indicate "unlabeled" or "label no longer visible". The trip" variable uses the following abbreviations to signify qualitative data for each observed foraging activity: "OF" (Orientation Flight); "R,P" (Returning, with Pollen); "R,NP" (Returning, no pollen); and "L" (Leaving) 3. ReturningForagers_PollenYesNo.csv = Data of returning foraging trips returning with (pollen=1) or without (pollen=0) pollen from Experiment #2 4. Pyriproxyfen_censoredsurvival.csv = Censored survival data from pyriproxyfen bees from Experiment #1 5. Spirodiclofen_censoredsurvival.csv = Censored survival data from spirodiclofen bees from Experiment #1 --------------------------------------------- ## Contributor Roles The roles are defined by the CRediT taxonomy http://credit.niso.org/ - Megan Deeter, corresponding author: conceptualization, methodology, formal analysis, investigation, writing, review, project administration, funding acquisition - Vanessa Corby-Harris, supervisor: methodology & conceptualization, formal analysis, investigation, review and editing - Lucy Snyder: investigation, supervision - Charlotte Meador: investigation
