>Looking at the different seed catalogs I've noticed that there are multitudes of varieties of sunflowers available.  However, I think I remember mention being made that some varieties do NOT provide viable pollen for use by our bees.

They certainly have low protein pollen.

But they do give an interesting yellow coloured honey, both liquid and 
crystallised.
