Abstract
The phenology of crop flowering and pollinator reproduction can become asynchronous at the edge of their respective ranges. At a northern site in Peterborough County, Ontario, we evaluated offspring emergence of Cucurbita pollen specialist hoary squash bees (Eucera pruinosa) from nests in enclosures to determine their phenological synchrony with a squash crop (Cucurbita pepo). For the crop, we evaluated the percentage of bees that emerged in time to provide pollination services during the crop pollination window. For the bees, we compared the period when both male and females were present and could mate to the whole crop flowering period. We found that fewer than half the bees had emerged by the time the crop pollination window closed and only 34.1% of the flowering period of the crop could support the reproductive activities of the bees, suggesting that phenological synchrony was imperfect from the perspective of both the crop and the pollinator at this northern site.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
