总结一下。蜜蜂数量的下降引起了媒体的关注，这迫使植物零售商要求或要求减少或消除温室生产中新烟碱类杀虫剂的使用。本研究调查了消费者对生态友好型观赏植物生产实践的看法，并结合各种昆虫管理实践。2015年5月，一项在线研究收集了1555名美国人的数据。超过一半（55%），近一半（48.2%）和超过30%的参与者分别认为“蜜蜂没有受到伤害”，“对环境更好”或“吸引蜜蜂的植物”是蜜蜂友好型昆虫管理实践的特征。后者错误地将对蜜蜂友好的昆虫管理做法与作为蜜蜂潜在食物来源的植物混淆起来。当被要求用5分李克特量表对各种昆虫管理植物生产实践进行评分时，消费者在以下方面的平均得分为正（这里定义为3.5至5.0）：“采用蜜蜂友好的昆虫管理实践种植的植物”、“采用对传粉媒介安全的昆虫管理策略种植的植物”、“采用保护传粉媒介的最佳昆虫管理实践种植的植物”和“采用不留下杀虫剂残留的昆虫管理实践种植的植物”。“决定购买植物的因素中，植物种类占31.6%，其次是价格（25.1%）、昆虫管理策略（23.3%）和环保措施（20.1%），这与之前发表的研究结果相似。分析显示，标有“使用蜜蜂友好型昆虫管理方法种植”的植物比标有“在可持续生产的盆栽土壤/混合物中种植”、“使用循环/再捕获水种植”、“使用保护性新烟碱类杀虫剂种植”和“使用传统昆虫管理方法种植”的植物价值分别高出0.26美元、0.26美元、0.89美元和1.15美元。
S UMMARY . Declining bee populations has garnered media attention, which has pressured plant retailers to ask or demand the reduction or elimination of neonicotinoid insecticide use in greenhouse production. This study investigated consumer perspectives on eco-friendly ornamental plant production practices in combination with a variety of insect management practices. Data from an online study were collected from 1555 Americans in May 2015. Over half (55%), nearly half (48.2%), and more than 30% of the participants felt that ‘‘bees are not harmed,’’ ‘‘better for the environment,’’ or ‘‘plants that attract bees,’’ respectively, was a characteristic of bee-friendly insect management practices. The latter group erroneously confused bee-friendly insect management practices with plants that are a potential food source for bees. When asked to rate various insect management plant production practices on a five-point Likert scale, consumer mean scores were positive (defined here as 3.5 to 5.0) for ‘‘plants grown using bee-friendly insect management practices,’’ ‘‘plants grown using insect management strategies that are safe for pollinators,’’ ‘‘plants grown using best insect management practices to protect pollinators,’’ and ‘‘plants grown using insect management practices that leaves no insecticide residue on the plant.’’ Plant species accounted for 31.6% of the decision to purchase the plant, followed by price (25.1%), insect management strategy (23.3%), and eco-friendly practices (20.1%) that was similar to prior published findings. Analyses showed that plants labeled as ‘‘grown using bee-friendly insect management practices’’ were worth $0.26, $0.26, $0.89, and $1.15 more than plants labeled as ‘‘grown in a sustainably produced potting soil/mix,’’ ‘‘grown using recycled/recaptured water,’’ ‘‘grown using protective neonicotinoid insecticides,’’ and ‘‘grown using traditional insect management practices,’’
