To estimate similarity in the apple and strawberry pollinator communities, bees were collected using sweep netting during four 15-minute surveys along 100 m transects in apple orchards and strawberry fields during the peak bloom of each crop. Surveys were conducted between 10:00 and 15:30 on sunny days with temperature above 16 °C. Bees were identified to species using published revisions333435363738 and online keys (Discoverlife.org) as well as expertly identified reference materials maintained in the Cornell University Insect Collection (http://cuic.entomology.cornell.edu/).
