- agroecologist · plausible
“Same Garibaldi 2013 synthesis: honey bee visitation significantly raised fruit set in only 14% of systems is the canonical figure.”
- entomologist · plausible
“The 14% honey-bee-only fruit-set result is a direct quote from Garibaldi et al. and is biologically and statistically plausible.”
