What was evaluated

The study evaluated 34 coffee farms in Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, over two years, relating floral visitors, crop management and landscape context to yield.

Comparator and study design

Farms under lower- and higher-impact management were compared together with landscape context and floral-visitor patterns.

Method and metric

The authors combined field observations of floral visitors, management intensity, landscape characteristics and farm yield.

How to interpret it

What this result shows in the study context.

This is farm-scale contextual evidence. It supports diagnosis of landscape and management, while AgroBee’s main coffee claim remains anchored to the specific 2025 study.

The study was conducted in one region of Bahia and considers the pollinator community; another farm requires local assessment.

How this enters planning

AgroBee connects evidence to the actual area: crop, flowering window, logistics, management and the metric defined for follow-up.
