Fore wings of honey bees (Apis mellifera) from northwestern Europe

The dataset consists of 29,043 images of the fore wing of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) worker, representing 1,342 samples from ten countries in northwestern Europe: Belarus (BY), France (FR), Germany (DE), Ireland (IE), Lithuania (LT), the Netherlands (NL), Norway (NO), Poland (PL), Spain (ES), the United Kingdom (GB). For each country, there are three files beginning with the two-letter country code (shown in parentheses above): 'XX-wing-images.zip', 'XX-raw-coordinates.csv', and 'XX-data.csv', containing wing images, raw landmark coordinates, and geographic coordinates, respectively. In the case of Poland and Spain, numbers indicating sample numbers follow the country code to differentiate the files from those presented in other datasets. The wing shape is described using 19 landmarks, consistent with the configuration described by Nawrocka et al. (2018): https://doi.org/10.1007/s13592-017-0538-y.
