The goal of this project was to capture an ecological survey
of pollinators and other insects that are present in an experimental plot. The
plot, a graduate student's research project, was testing two specific
treatments of companion plantings, one consisting of annual plants and the
other were perennial plants, during spring and summer vegetable crop
production. Collection times were early bloom (April 17th -May 15th), mid bloom
(May 20th - June 16th) and late bloom (June 20th - July 14th). Following
mounting and identification, pollinators were mounted in a wooden display box
to be used as a reference for future research, education, and extension
purposes.
