The dataset contains information about insect visitations to flowers growing in seed mix trial plots on two farms, one in West Sussex, and one in Oxfordshire. The data was collected during the spring and summer seasons of 2019, 2020, and 2021. Seed mix trial plots were walked centrally and insects visiting flowers in the plots were recorded, and where possible, identified to genus or species level. The work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (NE/P009972/1) Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/ca785f4c-5e45-4743-83bb-e30dd620de2e

Plots were marked out and seed mixes sown in 2018. The plots were then surveyed for insects visiting flowers growing in the plots in 2019, 2020, and 2021. Insect visitations to flowers were recorded in the field. Flower species being visited was identified. The insect was allocated to a “group” and then further identified to species level where possible. If a bee or hoverfly specimen could not be identified to species level in the field, where possible, it was caught, and then identified in the laboratory under a dissecting microscope. All insects seen on each plot during in each survey were then entered into an excel spreadsheet, using a combination of paper notes from the field, and laboratory notes of species.
