Data on the diet of urban and rural bumblebees

Data on the diet of urban and rural bumblebees individuals, Bombus lapidarius and Bombus pascuorum, collected in Switzerland (cantons Bern, Basel and Zürich) obtained using metabarconding and chemical analyses from two pollen transportation structures, that is, the body and the leg-baskets (i.e., corbicula). The bumblebees were collected by Egenberger et al., 2019 (https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.qt8mr4v) The data contains: - The composition and relartive abundance of plant species in the body and the leg-baskets, separately. - The content and ratios of two groups of macronutrients, that is, amino acids and fatty acids. The dataset contains the data used in the paper "Urban bumblebees diversify their foraging strategy to maintain nutrient intake" as well as unpublished data.
