Hi all,
I was raised in North West Alabama on a very small cotton farm. I am 70 and enjoy thinking about picking cotton, now that I don't have to pick it. A cotton bloom starts as a square, then it blooms, blooms fall as the bowl forms which contains lockes of cotton with dividers between each locke. When the bowl opens, your fingers each remove a locke as you pull it from the bowl.
Picking cotton from bowls that I have seen, never had a honey bee around when picking was going on. I enjoy reading how sophisticated cotton can be from people that has never seen or picked a bowl of cotton.
Lionel
