Strips of prairie vegetation placed within row crops can sustain native bee communities.

Effect of treatment, landscape diversity, and prairie vegetation on the bee community Regression analyses with the presence or absence of prairie strips and Shannon landscape diversity as independent variables indicated that strip treatment had a highly significant effect on the abundance of all bees ( Fig 3a and S6 Table ; p = 0.0006), 8 common bees ( Fig 3b ; p = 0.0014), 9 common bees ( Fig 3c ; p = 0.0022), and uncommon bees ( Fig 3d ; p = 0.0002).
