Pollen types collected by bees in different field types

Data were collected to explore the impacts of added pollinator habitat planted adjacent or far away from soybean fields on the bee community and soybean yield (see Levenson, Hannah K; Sharp, April E; Tarpy, David R (2022), “Bee community metrics in different field types”, Mendeley Data, V1, doi: 10.17632/tfdcmfpwz9.1). This dataset includes information on pollen types from bees collected in three field types: first planted pollinator habitat, second a soybean field planted adjacent to the habitat (which acts as a treatment field), and third a soybean field planted far away from the habitat (which acts as a negative control field). Bees were only collected if actively visiting a flower. Focus was placed on three of the most abundant bee species in the study: Apis mellifera, Bombus impatiens, and Xylocopa virginica.

本数据集所收录的数据，旨在探究在大豆田邻近或远距区域人工种植授粉昆虫生境对蜂类群落及大豆产量的影响（详见Levenson, Hannah K; Sharp, April E; Tarpy, David R (2022), "Bee community metrics in different field types", Mendeley Data, V1, doi: 10.17632/tfdcmfpwz9.1）。本数据集涵盖三类样地中采集的蜂类花粉类型相关信息：其一为人工种植的授粉昆虫生境，其二为紧邻该生境种植的大豆田（作为处理样地），其三为远离该生境的大豆田（作为阴性对照样地）。仅采集正处于主动访花状态的蜂类样本。本研究重点关注群落中丰度最高的三类蜂种：西方蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）、普通熊蜂（Bombus impatiens）以及弗吉尼亚木蜂（Xylocopa virginica）。
