I would have thought that was well known.  The question is whether they 
are pollinated by bees, i.e.  do bees increase the seed set beyond bees 
being absent?  Here abouts many of these produce poor pollen, so poor 
that many of us regard them as being detrimental rather than at all 
beneficial.  As individual bees are true to one source it is obvious 
that they will only be carrying one source.
