Table 2. Estimated pollination services and economic benefits to each variety provided by the four pollinator guilds studied based on visitation rates and effectiveness (after 3 visits).
Measures of standard deviation are included in brackets.

| Solitary bees | 54% (±21%) | £10.9 (±4.1)M | 57% (±29%) | £11.0 (±5.5)M | 58% (±39%) | £27.8 (±18.8)M | 39% (±24%) | £1.7 (±1.0)M | £51.4M (±29.4M) |
Proportion of service (%) = the average percentage contribution to total pollination services made by the taxa to the variety. Benefits (£M) = the monetary benefits, in million £ of additional production, of the pollination services provided by the taxa to that specific variety.
