Nope!
They get pollen brushed on to them and move it around from flower to flower, but from the bees point of view this is just coincidental. They are not trying to gather pollen, just nectar.
Live and learn.

Anyone get the latest April issue of National Geographic and read about the depletion of fish in waters worldwide?

From the link:

Quote:
Bees are adapted for feeding on nectar and pollen, the former primarily as an energy source, and the latter primarily for protein and other nutrients. Most pollen is used as food for larvae.
Yup, Letum I've seen and tried bee pollen in the health food shops. They gather AND spread pollen.

In Germany you can get pollen injections that cure hayfeaver.
The practice was banned in the UK after a seris of deaths.

Dude we are gonna be in big doo doo when the bees are gone...

I say we find out how to stop them from depleting this world of it's resources.

Heres my first suggestion: Find out how they are getting into SUBSPACE... then stop that action.

Anymore suggestions?

The floor is open.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:


Thank God for bees. They make my garden worth the effort. That and they are free labor.

Injecting pollen?! That's like.....finding a needle in a haystack!

I have plenty of bees hanging around my apple and pear trees. One stung me two days ago. Should I box them up and ship them off to those in need?

Well isn't this thread the bee's knees. Buzz, buzz, buzz. All this bumble about an insect which pollenates flowering plants. Your signifigant others will not get as many roses. They want diamonds anyway.
