[R] R generated means are different from the boxplot!

Hi R-listers,
1) I am having trouble understanding why the means I have calculated from
Aeventexhumed (A, B, and C) are different from the means showing on the
boxplot I generated (see attached). I have added the script as to how my
data is organized.
2) Also when I went through the data manually the means I calculated for
each nesting event are slightly different than what I generated through R
(see below).
A, B, C
0.2155051, 0.1288241, 0.1124618
Thanks in advance,
Jean
