"We found that existing land-cover products lack sufficient local accuracy
to monitor actual changes in landscape suitability for honey bees, but our
model proved informative for evaluating effects on suitability under
scenarios of land change. The scenario we implemented was aligned with
current drivers of land-use change in the Northern Great Plains and
highlighted the importance of conservation lands in landscapes intensively
and extensively managed for crops."
