I don't know about jojoba, but bees have been shown to work maize for
pollen, which is normally assumed to be wind-pollinated. This has given rise
to some concern about field trials of GM maize, which have been surrounded
by a safety zone of only a few metres, in the belief that bees would not
transfer pollen outside the trial field.
