In this module you will learn and be able to educate others using a framework for examining the ecological and economic contribution of wild and managed bees to crop pollination based on data gathered from our ;abs work on orchard pollinators over the past 15 years. You will be able to discuss factors used to quantify pollinator importance (pollinator abundance x per-visit effectiveness) and you will be able to describe the field work. You will be able to convey how landscape context and management practices impact the abundance of wild and managed pollinators.
