13. the reason european honey bees are so important to farmers is they only
pollinate one thing. a beekeeper comes and sets his hives in a orange grove and the hives send out 'scouts. the scouts immediately find the orange blossoms and take that scent back to the hive. after that, the whole hive goes after nothing but orange blossoms. that's how you can get the different flavors of honey.

as for there being no proof of the GMO connection, that's a fact, but it certainly bears some research doncha think?
