Apis-wings-EU

Collection of wing images for conservation of honey bees (Apis mellifera) biodiversity in Europe. We provide 26,481 forewing images of honey bee workers. They represent 1,725 samples from 13 European countries. The shape of the wings was described using the coordinates for 19 landmarks at wing veins’ intersections. The whole dataset, including the wing images, landmark coordinates, geographic coordinates of sampling locations, and other data, is available on the Zenodo website under a Public Domain licence.
