I've not re-promoted many #Botany One blog posts recently but I'll make an exception here.
Scientists have tested 5 different metrics for measuring pollinator preferences for plants, and found they all gave wildly different results.
I like this paper because they give a clear answer for which metric works & why. If you can decipher the equation, you can apply it to your own garden.
I've added a 6-step process to help do your own #PlantScience at the end.
