Quantifying the impact of crop coverings on honey bee orientation and foraging in sweet cherry orchards using RFID
1 INTRODUCTION Global horticultural production and ecological stability are reliant on the services provided by insect pollinators. It is estimated that over 75% of crops require pollination, amounting to one third of the total food supply (Klein et al., 2007; Porto et al., 2020).
