Title: Bee's on corn
Post by: deantn on August 27, 2007, 07:56:40 pm

Have always heard that the ladies done really have much to do with the pollination of corn but found them one morning really enjoying the pollen that was there for the taking.

Yea, they gather the pollen but they don't pollinate, that's done by the wind (for corn).

I wonder if that is GMO corn. Your bees may end up with two heads.  ;)
