We predicted that both abundance and diversity of bees would be greater at sites adjacent to natural habitats. Although bee abundance was greater at sites adjacent to natural habitats, bee species richness did not differ between sampling locations. This result is likely due to a greater density of nesting sites in less disturbed natural areas for the ground-nesting bees that dominated the pollinator community45. While the distance between strawberry fields and semi-natural habitats within a farm was not greater than the flight distance of the average strawberry pollinator46, it is possible that fewer individuals traveled that distance. Despite overall greater pollinator abundances in sites adjacent to natural habitats, lack of a significant interaction between the natural habitat proximity variable and mass flowering indicated that proximity to natural habitat did not alter the impact of mass flowering on the pollinator community. Furthermore, the influence of mass flowering apple on the abundance and diversity of bees was greater than the influence of proximity to natural habitats. Similar results were reported by Westphal et al.18, who found that bumble bee densities were positively related to the availability of oilseed rape and not natural habitats within the landscape. Our findings reveal that these effects extend to a much broader pollinator community. These findings also suggest that the effects of agricultural habitats on pollinator communities has thus far been underestimated and likely represents a common phenomenon among crops with overlapping pollinator communities.
