Fig. 1. Distribution of honey samples (n = 441) collected in 2017 and analysed with DNA metabarcoding, along with the habitat types hives were found within.
a The month when honey was extracted from the hive, April (4) to October (10), is indicated by colours. b The percentage area of different habitats is presented for the UK as a whole and for within a 2-km radius of honey samples, characterised using the 2015 CEH Land Cover map (NERC CEH).
