![]() Each triplet set was placed at least 30 m distant. Each set consisted of a triplet of each colour placed 3 m apart from each other flush on open grassland. Three sets of bee bowls were set out at 9am and collected at 4pm (7 hours duration). Across all study sites, the same 500 ml plastic bowls (AVA®) were used, and they were all painted the same way, first using a primer (white Motip® primer), and then with white, fluorescent yellow and blue sprays-paints (white and yellow Rocol® paints and fluorescent blue Liquitex® paint). ![]() Orchards were surveyed both passively using bee bowls (also known as pan traps in the literature), and sweep-netting with an entomological sweep-net. Each orchard was surveyed for three consecutive days during the apple bloom season on days suitable for bee activity (temperatures were >15oC, partly cloudy to sunny conditions, wind speeds <20 km/hr, no rain). Three orchards (Lymington, Cradoc, Geeveston) were “Certified Organic” (Australian Organic Ltd, 2019), and one (Plenty) used Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Native bees were collected from four apple orchards in the Huon Valley region of Tasmania by Kit Prendergast in October 2019.
