Yesterday while as I was leaving my bee yard I noticed a bee buzzing around
the seed pods on a stalk of Pensacola Bahia grass.  She landed and  walked
up and down on the slender pod, her pollen sacks were bulging.  I took
another pod close by and shook it on my hand and it puffed a cloud of very
fine pollen.  I have read nothing about this source and was amazed to find
bees on the grass stalks.  Can anyone lend any information on this grass as
a source of pollen.  I was going to mow this pasture, but I will wait a
couple of weeks until it has seeded out...thanks, Will Lewis in N. Florida..
