Hi Chris,
Here is a video i shot back in 2013 from our own garden, where we were growing some organic corn. this short video shows what is possible in any and ALL corn fields - gmo or organic.
Please cut off volume if you don't want to hear my commentary & thoughts on the issue, but in this case a pic is worth a thousand words.
cheers,
marty

So,Marty's note reminded me of a question I've had for some time. Maybe someone has a handy answer.To what extend do bees forage pollen from wind-blown pollinators, e.g. grasses, oaks?Observing bees over the years, I've never seen them on blooming grasses or corn or "male" oak flowers. I've always assumed they foraged pollen exclusively from simple blossoms and composite flowers where they can collect pollen from the anthers.ChrisOn Mon, Mar 21, 2016 at 12:54 PM, Marty Hanks <marty AT justbeenc.com> wrote:To whom here who will consider this.. . . Our girls would bring in the corn pollen & even the talc for planting. . . .
