Data: Single visit stigmatic pollen deposition by insect pollinators of Avocado (Persea americana) in New Zealand.

A wide range of bee and non-bee insects visit the flowers of avocado (Persea americana Mill.) in New Zealand (Read et al., 2017). To determine whether any of these insects contribute to pollination, we assessed single visit stigmatic pollen deposition for 12 insect species. Orchards were located in the Bay of Plenty 37.4234° S, 176.7416° E  (n=6) and Northland 35.4136° S, 173.9321° E (n=1) regions of New Zealand, and data was collected in 2013 and 2014. In total, data was collected from 312 flower visits.
