It might be significant (good or bad) to bees or other insects.
Why not use either input or outpup as a tag or qualifier that can be 
attached to pieces of information or attributes associated with objects.
Say, with salix babylonica or river birch under cultural requirements
"tolerates wet conditions; in the wild, commonly found near bodies of 
water" could have the tag "input" attached.
