This was sent to me--anyone have experience?

I have a small seed company and wish to know how bees movement is affected
by a densely forested area (second growth fir/cedar forest) in the Pacific
Northwest. Does the forested area act as a vertical buffer to their
movement? Is their any documentation of this I can review. We usually
isolate seed crops from crossing varieties by 1/4 mile but I',m wondering if
we can reduce the distance if we have a forested buffer between.
