contents We introduce EtherBee, a global dataset integrating detailed Ethereum node metrics, network traffic metadata, and honeypot interaction logs collected from ten geographically diverse vantage points over three months. By correlating node data with granular network sessions and security events, EtherBee provides unique insights into benign and malicious activity, node stability, and network-level threats in the Ethereum peer-to-peer network. A case study shows how client-based optimizations can unintentionally concentrate the network geographically, impacting resilience and censorship resistance. We publicly release EtherBee to promote further investigations into performance, reliability, and security in decentralized networks.
