bee_rawR Documentation

Raw bee observations

Description

This data set contains data as read in from the csv files. It is likely NOT the data that you want to use for an analysis, instead you should (most likely) use the bee data.frame.

Usage

bee_raw

Format

A data.frame with the following variables:

  • filepath: path to the file within the data-raw/ directory

  • date: Date, date of survey

  • round: character, the round number: 1, 2, or 3

  • siteID: character, ID of the site

  • transectID: character, ID of the transect

  • Bee Type: character, type of bee: honey bee, bumble bee, or solitary bee

  • Nectar Plant Species: character, common name for plant

  • count: integer, number of bees observed for each bee type (NAs are due to observer misclassification)

  • transect_length: integer, length of transect in meters

  • remaining columns contain counts for each section

Details

The main purpose of this data.frame is to allow you to troubleshoot data issues. If you discover a possible problem in bee, you can take a look at this data.frame to determine if the error is due to the original data or the processing. If you find the same error in bee_raw, then the error is likely in the data where if you do not find the error in bee_raw, then the error arose during data processing in the data-raw/bee.R script.

Many of the section data are <NA> indicating that particular section was not recorded during that survey. This is typically due to changing how sections were recorded, e.g. recording 0-20m vs 0-10m,10-20m.
