We have a large tallow tree next to where we keep the dogs and during its pollen production, the whole tree was buzzing with bees.

... oh and I just remembered that we did have a big cluster of bees that stayed the night in one of our trees while they were on the move. It was pretty neat to see. They were gone the next day.

I did some research and now I know why a helicopter must be used for this rice. Its a hybrid rice that is only fertile on a certain day of the growing cycle and only during a certain time of the day.  They plant the rice in rows like corn and even rows are male and odd rows are female... well you get the pic. Really neat stuff. When they harvest it they use little combine looking machines that go down each row. |

That's pretty cool about it being a hybrid rice and it only being able to be pollinated for one day.
Watch outback wrangler and see how he herds the cattle in that country with those little helicopters. It's an art to how they're flying.

My first job when I was in high school I worked on a Tomato farm where tomatoes were grown in huge indoor green houses. We pollinated the plants by vibrating the flowers with electric tooth brushes. 100 % pollination rate but you talk about the most boring job ever. Thousands of flowers every day vibrated with a fricken tooth brush.
Ok, apparently no one is gonna jump all over this...?? What a disappointment. Lmao |

Vibrating toothbrush = well I'll leave that one alone all together 3. Pollinating = once again, use your imagination.... 4. Wax = dude your just plain evil. I think I need to put the bottle down and go to bed before Mike bans me |
