One of my local beekeeping associates has just sold a colony of bees to a 
man with a large greenhouse for indoor pollination.  The greenhouse man 
called asking the beekeeper to come deal with a problem - the bees are not 
working on his plants, but rather stuck on the ceiling and not returning to 
the hive.  Knowing a bit about bees propensities, this would have been my 
prediction.

The question from my friend is how can he accommodate the needs of the 
greenhouse to have the bees pollinate the plants.  Has anyone successfully 
accomplished this?  Any suggestions?
