Data for abundance (how many pollinators are visiting the patch?) and diversity (how many different types of pollinator groups are visiting the patch? Carpenter Bee Honey BeeBumble BeeGreen Sweat bee Small dark native bee FlyButterfly/ moth WaspHumming birdOther pollinating insect Notes (Pollinator Behavior): Patch 1 List flower species in patch: _______________ Patch 2 List flower species in patch: _______________ Patch 3 List flower species in patch: _______________ Section 2. Baseline environmental conditions and data summary 1. Weather conditions (check all that apply):Just like us pollinators are affected by the weather. Scientists can use this weather data to help predict how weather effects pollinators. Rainy Windy Calm Temperature Sunny Partly Sunny Cloudy Wind Speed PATCH 1PATCH 2PATCH 3 2. Floral density (% patch in bloom) 3. Abundance (total# of insects on flowers) a) 1-minute scan b) 5-minute scan 4. Average visitor Abundance (% average) 5) Group Diversity (# of diff. insect types) 6) Visitation rate (% visit frequency) 7. Soil Moisture (Dry, Moist, or Wet) pH (1-Acidic to 14-Alkaline)
