Hermies, most have no idea!!!

I'd say so. Otherwise they'd likely have proper flowers to attract bees and other bugs that go from plant to plant. Rather than a structure to collect pollen. And another to make the pollen.

There's also the fact that most of them grow that one main cola straight up. With satellites off the sides.

That's interesting, because given the opportunity honeybees will collect Cannabis nectar and make honey out of it, so it would stand to reason that they could also use male pollen for bee bread.

I'm not completely dismissing the use of critters to pollinate. It's just that most flowers use a visual or olfactory signal of sorts to such creatures that directs them straight to their pollen and nectar.

Where as hemp has these sacs of pollen that burst open and spread their "seed" via the wind.

Good point there, the flowers aren't vibrant like those of a rose or tulip etc.

Not only that. But flowers have an irridescence that acts like a landing strip, guiding these little creatures towards their goods.

If you look it up. You'll probably find what I'm talking about.

Say for instance. You've got a flower with purple outer petals. And yellow on the inner part. Those yellow bits will likely show up very differently to a pollinator like a bee than what we would see.

It's these bits that "light up". That gets the pollinators to go towards the actual pollen.

Oh, yeah, I know that. I'm an amateur/hoppyist apiarist.

Oh nice. Bees need all the help they can get right now. Apparently the global numbers aren't looking too good.

Yeah, pretty bad about now. But you can help.

Many tress and plants pollinate thru wind. Look for the ones with dull color flowers like grasses or cedars. Check the local pollen report for airborne pollen. Those, like our favorite are wind pollinators. Even ancient fungal spores like "puffballs" spread themselves by air.

I grow goldenrod for the flowers with no trouble. Only thing goldenrod ever did wrong was hang with ragweed.

Save those bees!

I'd love to. But, I've got a dopey dog that can't leave shite alone. And the other half of my family is allergic to them.

 

[hillbill]

A poison pesticide has just been allowed in US regardless of research showing it to be unsafe. Don't know if it is bad for bees yet but this jackass Pruit don't give one slimy shit about the environment he is charged to protect.

We overpopullated the world, bees dont fit into our environment very well anymore.

Being green is bullshit, every year pollution and shit gets worse, this sites combined light wattage is partly responsible...

I dont like it, but I do agree

Ignorance is humans thinking they are saving the world when all around its steadily getting worse.

I dont recycle or be green, these thigs dont save the world one bit but prolonge the inevitable and avoid real answers that we just dont like.

Fuck being green im not uneducated, sorry to rant

 

[Xcoregamerskillz]

You don't have to keep need to help. You can plant some flowers, leave out some bee waterers, don't use neonicitinoids on anything you grow (which means don't support buying flowers from home depot that are sprayed wit them)

I hope they die off, one day the world might stop being so self centred.


Every year the pollution, climate and habitat gets worse here for bees. Why would i waste my time trying to swim upstream.

 

[chemphlegm]

may as well breath helium now?

 

[Nugachino]

Closest thing I'd plant is veggies. I don't see the point wasting yard space on something that gives nothing usable back.

It happens most on plants that are prone to do it....(all cannabis strains "can") The plant will throw naners and self replicate....
This done near the or soon after where we would harvest - sometimes earlier (strain thing). The plant then will run it's self till the seeds are mature and die off soon after.....

It's the plant "needing" to carry on it's line (so to speak).

They make fem seeds that way. Rodelazation. Not sure on the spelling.
