Pollen was collected during peak and postalmond bloom (time) at distances 85, 260, and 435 m from managed wildflower plantings. Data were analyzed separately for almond, Phacelia, and all “other” (pooled) pollen grains counted. For all analyses, df = (2, 84), (1, 82), and (2, 84) for distance, time, and dist × time, respectively.
