Short summary

Pollinating insects are essential for crops and wild plants, but their populations are declining due to habitat loss. Here we compared two methods for sampling pollinators: insect nets and pan traps. Both methods were effective but captured different pollinators: nets collected more bumblebees, while pan traps caught more solitary bees. Data from each method also showed different responses to the landscape, suggesting that both methods are needed for better conservation strategies.
