The purpose of this dataset is to provide high resolution images (160x280px) of honeybees and the parasite Varroa destructor. It was recorded in a controlled and constant environment. The dataset consists of images of healthy bees (not infected with Varroa destructor) and infected bees (show Varroa destructor). We further provide: ~13,500 manual annotations of honeybees infected with the parasite Varroa destructor. Predefined dataset splits into: train, test and validation subsets Dataset Statistics: # of samples: 13,509 # pos (infected): 3,947 # neg (healthy): 9,562 ratio [pos:neg]: 1 : 2.4 resolution [w x h] : 160 x 280px More details and usage information can be found on the respective github page
