I'm interested to know how much change in plants has been documented and how 
robust the research was.  A lot of the GW 'research' has been debunked.

We know that to be the case where pollen is deficient.  Do we know about 
flows where high quality pollen is present.  After all, beekeepers usually 
say that nothing makes a hive look better than a good honey flow.

OK, thanks, but that does not answer he question.

Something is happening...
