The abundance and diversity of pollinator populations are in global decline. Managed pollinator species, like honey bees, and wild species are key ecosystem service providers in both natural and managed agroecosystems. However, relatively few studies have exhaustively characterized pollinator populations in diverse agroecosystems over multiple years, while also thoroughly documenting plant-pollinator interactions. Yet, such studies are needed to fulfill the national pollinator protection plans that have been released by the United States and other nations. Our research is among the first studies to respond to these directives by systematically documenting bee and plant biodiversity, bee-plant interactions, and bee-mediated pollen movement in farming systems of the Pacific Northwest, USA. Our data provides insight into the processes mediating pollinator and plant community assembly, persistence, and resilience across landscapes with variable crop and landscape diversity and agroecosystem management practices. These data will also contribute to the development of a United States pollinator database, supporting the United States' plan to promote pollinators. With few publicly available data sets that systematically take account of agroecosystem practices, plant populations, and pollinators, our research will provide future users the means to conduct synesthetic studies of pollinators and ecosystem function in a period of rapid and global pollinator declines.

传粉者种群的数量和多样性正在全球范围内减少。像蜜蜂这样的人工饲养传粉物种以及野生传粉物种，在自然和人工管理的农业生态系统中都是关键的生态系统服务提供者。然而，相对较少的研究对不同农业生态系统中的传粉者种群进行了多年的详尽描述，同时也全面记录了植物与传粉者之间的相互作用。然而，美国和其他国家发布的国家传粉者保护计划需要这样的研究来落实。我们的研究是首批响应这些指令的研究之一，通过系统记录美国太平洋西北地区农业系统中的蜜蜂和植物生物多样性、蜜蜂与植物的相互作用以及蜜蜂介导的花粉传播。我们的数据深入了解了在作物和景观多样性以及农业生态系统管理实践各异的景观中，介导传粉者和植物群落组装、存续及恢复力的过程。这些数据还将有助于美国传粉者数据库的建立，支持美国促进传粉者的计划。由于很少有公开可用的数据集系统地考虑农业生态系统实践、植物种群和传粉者，我们的研究将为未来的使用者提供手段，以便在传粉者迅速全球减少的时期对传粉者和生态系统功能进行综合研究。本研究或教学使用不存在版权或专有限制。数据集的使用必须注明出处。
