Hi
Garth,                                                                  Hope
all is well with you and yours during this Christmas holiday season and
you recieve all your desires as per
3John2.                                 At any rate we've all
known "Hippies" now or in the past. For the ones I have known, none of
them are "Beekeepers". As a matter of high (ha-ha-ha,or for this
season,ho-ho-ho) scientific interest would you ask your hippie beekeeper
friend if he has ever used cannabis in his smoker? If it works as good on
bees as it does on people---hum,somthing to think about. For that matter
does anyone else out there have any first hand knowledge on this? Seems
as though theirs someone out there that would light their smoker for more
than bees.

Hi All
A hippie beekeeper I have spoken to who goes to the transkei(lots of
cannabis there) frequently has also mentioned that he has seen bees
working the canabis heads. Cannabis heads (buds) are I gather female
and produce no pollen or nectar. Plants are either male or female.
Many 'farmers' kill the male plants. Hence bees are definitely not
pollinating when they are there but are collecting resin.
 
I will try to get a photograph and put it on my web page when that
goes up.
 
Keep well
 
Garth
