Table 1 Wild bee survey data (abundance, species richness, Shannon–Wiener diversity, and species evenness) and fruit count data in response to wildflower strip (WF) and hive presence/absence, year, and/or season.

From: Honey bee hives decrease wild bee abundance, species richness, and fruit count on farms regardless of wildflower strips

  1. Significant predictors (P < 0.05) are bolded.
  2. αNonsignificant interactions (α = 0.1) dropped from analyses.
  3. βInteraction not included in analysis due to limited winter squash fruit count in 2018.
