The study was carried out in Cornwall, United Kingdom in 2019 and 2020. First, we used roadside surveys to assess the spatial distribution of pollution, flowers and pollinators in road verges. Second, we used field experiments (away from roads) to simulate each form of pollution separately and measure the impacts on pollinator densities and foraging behaviour to explain the distribution of pollinators observed across road verges.
