Bees Absolutely Love Cannabis and It Could Help Restore Their Populations

Paul Stamets of Fungi Perfecti has also discovered how certain mycelium vastly improves bee longevity and helps prevent colony collapse. Hopefully all the hemp and weed farmers get beehives.

Yeah, that was pretty neat what he has found hey! Great guy really.

I personally think he is a genius... or maybe just blessed with an entire lifetime to study and make key connections between natural systems that truly co-exist.. as we all do actually.

I dont keep hives but Ive had "pet" bees off and on since I was little. I am very sad at their dwindling presence! I'm going to look into getting a plant or two and sticking them in our garden with similar plants for my fuzzy friends. There would be a huge market for that honey.

They like getting a buzz on any way, LOL

Cannabis is cannabis. Same botanical nomenclature whether it is for food/fibre etc or for medicine. In industrial hemp growing, they do not differentiate. Hence med growers use HEPA filters if they are anywhere near an industrial hemp farm. The pollen can carry for miles and miles.

Hmmm, lack of doom thread.

Bees are major fans of hemp and a recent study has found that the taller the hemp plants are the larger the number of bees that will flock to it.

The new research, spearheaded by researchers at Cornell University and published last month in Environmental Entomology, shows that humans aren’t the only fans of weed. The findings also reinforce a study published last year at Colorado State University that discovered the same thing.

The study shows how bees are highly attracted to cannabis due to the plant’s plentiful stores of pollen, and it could pave the way for scientists to figure out new ways to support their struggling population as well as floral populations.
