INTRODUCTION Remote observations using technology such as satellites, drones, and motion-activated cameras, are increasingly complementing and even supplanting direct human observations of the natural world (Swann et al. 2004; Muraoka & Koizumi 2009; Koh & Wich 2012; Cruzan et al. 2016). A key application of remote observation tools is the study of pollination systems (Steen 2012; Krauss et al. 2018; Houlihan et al. 2019; Johnson et al. 2020a; Droissart et al. 2021).
