Data: Flower visiting insects of kiwifruit within New Zealand commercial orchard blocks sampled over two years in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand

These data are total counts of individual bee and non–bee insects observed visiting the flowers of kiwifruit (<em>Actinidia chinensis</em> var.deliciosa) (‘Hayward’) vines in three commercial orchards located in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand (37° 46' 56" S; 176° 19' 10" E). Each block was located on a different farm and each separated by a distance of at least two kilometres and surveyed twice in two consecutive years. A total of 1181 insects were observed, 741 in the 2014 season and 460 in the 2015 season. Insects from four orders were recorded. The most abundant species were honey bees <em>Apis mellifera</em> (n= 1068; 90.4%), flower longhorn beetles <em>Zorion guttigerum</em> (n= 52; 4.4%), the native bee <em>Lasioglossum</em> <em>sordidum</em>/c<em>ognatum</em> (n= 12; 1.0%) and the hover fly <em>Melanostoma fasciatum</em> (n= 11; 0.9%) Others insects represented 3.2% of individuals observed (n=38). We present a table of counts of the insects observed.本数据集记录了新西兰丰盛湾大区（Bay of Plenty Region）三处商业果园中，访问海沃德（Hayward）品种美味猕猴桃（*Actinidia chinensis* var. *deliciosa*）藤蔓花序的蜜蜂与非蜂类昆虫的个体总数，该区域地理坐标为南纬37°46′56″、东经176°19′10″。每个调查样地均设于独立农场，样地间最小间距不低于2公里，且在连续两年内各开展一次调查（累计两次）。本次调查累计观测到昆虫1181头，其中2014年741头，2015年460头。共记录到隶属于4个目级分类单元的昆虫。优势类群依次为西方蜜蜂（*Apis mellifera*，样本量n=1068，占比90.4%）、花天牛（*Zorion guttigerum*，n=52，占比4.4%）、本土隧蜂（*Lasioglossum sordidum*/*L. cognatum*，n=12，占比1.0%）以及黑带食蚜蝇（*Melanostoma fasciatum*，n=11，占比0.9%）；其余昆虫共计38头，占观测总个体数的3.2%。本数据集附带观测昆虫的个体数量统计表。
