YES!  Still supporting my original statement about the importance of 
pollination in carbon sequestering in young plant growth, 
as the wind is a pollinator also!

Also in the study 'Pollen Selection by Feral Honey Bee', oak pollen was 
found to be collected as part of the bees diet, so there is likly 
contribution from bees also.
