Is the amount of chemical in a pound of canola nectar the same amount of chemical in a pound of sunflower nectar, and is the amount of chemical in a consumed-by-bees pound of corn pollen the same as a pound of consumed-by-bees canola pollen, or soybeans, or any crop...are apples to apples being compared?
