Data from: Species richness of wild bees, but not the use of managed honey bees, increases fruit set of a pollinator-dependent crop
Rachel E. Mallinger & Claudio Gratton
1. Native, wild bees are important pollinators for both crop and wild plants. With concerns over the availability and cost of managed honey bees, attention has turned to native, wild bees as crop pollinators. However, the ability of native, wild bees to provide sufficient pollination may depend on their populations at local scales. 2. Therefore, at the farm scale, we examined the pollination contribution of both native, wild bees and managed honey bees to apples,...
