POLLINATION MEASUREMENT / EXPLAINER
Why Counting Bees Is Not the Same as Measuring Pollination
Bee counts measure presence. Pollination is a process. To know whether pollination succeeded, measurements should move from presence to flower visitation, pollen transfer, reproductive response, and ultimately crop outcome.
01
Presence
Is a pollinator detected in the system?
02
Visitation
Did it actually interact with flowers?
03
Pollen transfer
Was useful pollen delivered?
04
Outcome
Did the plant produce the expected fruit, seed, size, shape, or yield?
