A. mellifera | 0.17 | – | −5.93 (−26.83/14.98) |
P. pruinosa | 0.12 | – | −0.03 (−10.52/10.46) |
B. impatiens | 1.0 | 43.70 (21.34/66.06)* | 45.08 (21.22/68.94)* |
Field size | 0.15 | – | 0.086 (−0.21/0.39) |
Treatment | 0.07 | – | A. mellifera supplemented: 1.23 (−3.28/5.75) |

Relative variable importance weights and parameter estimates with 95% confidence intervals for all variables from models predicting pumpkin yield in 2012. Significant factors are denoted with an asterisk (*) (P<0.05). Variables included: bee visitation frequency to pumpkin flowers (Apis mellifera, Peponapis pruinosa, and Bombus impatiens), field size, and supplementation treatment (B. impatiens supplemented, A. mellifera supplemented and nonsupplemented).
