Microsatellite genotype data for five species of bumblebee across an agricultural landscape in Buckinghamshire, UK

Microsatellite data for five species of common and declining bumblebee (Bombus terrestris, B. lapidarius, B. pascuorum, B. hortorum and B. ruderatus) collected across the Hillesden Estate, Buckinghamshire, UK, in summer 2011. Worker genotypes were determined from individuals sampled across an agricultural landscape and queen genotypes were reconstructed from sampled worker offspring. Data were collected as part of a project led by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, funded under the Insect Pollinators Initiative.

Statement

Worker bumblebee DNA was sampled non-lethally, stored, extracted and genotyped using recognised standard protocols. The program COLONY v.2.0 was used to assign workers to full-sib groups (with a genotyping error rate of 0-5% based on results of re-genotyping 10% of randomly selected individuals and scoring errors) and to reconstruct the multilocus genotypes of the mother queens. Data were checked for errors at all stages by staff at the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology and at the Institute of Zoology.
