Notes:

Materials and Methods - Each experiment consisted of 6 treatments, each with 10 potted plants. Of the six treatments, there were 3 treatments each of high and low “bee” populations:
high = 30 flowers hand pollinated per treatment per day (or less, if less than 30 flowers were in bloom on a plant)
low = all flowers on each plant were pollinated each day. Generally this was about 150 flowers per plant.
