Bees and cannabis? There’s more to the story. 🐝🌿
Research from Cornell and other scientists has found that flowering industrial h**p can provide an important late-season source of pollen for bees — at a time when other floral resources are becoming scarce.
One study recorded 16 bee species visiting h**p, while another found 23 bee genera using flowering h**p for pollen.
It doesn’t produce nectar, but its abundant pollen could make h**p a valuable part of landscapes supporting pollinators.
Cannabis has a surprisingly important relationship with the natural world. 🌱🐝
