Maybe I am out of line here, but I think the accepted rate of increase for
pollinators on soy beans hovers around 16% increase in productivity vs. no
cultivated pollinator activity.
I believe it has a lot to do with the flowers not being very visible for the
bees since the flowers occur below the leaf canopy of the soy fields.
Again, I may be out of line...
