Spinning because she’s stuck, not high.
Honeybees and Marijuana We get asked a lot about these two subjects, as well as Cannabis varietals and CBD-infused honey, and while the latter does exist—indeed, a lot of honey is infused with some sort of flavoring to both entice consumers and mask the taste of adulterants like the corn, rice, and beet syrups that many commercially available, non-domestic “honeys” contain—there’s several reasons no true marijuana varietal exists. While humans aren’t the only ones who seem to gravitate towards the marijuana plant, bees do love it, but for a slightly different reason. A new study by researchers at Cornell University published in the journal of Environmental Entomology finds that bees are super attracted to the cannabis plants because they can’t get enough of its pollen. This study supports the results of a similar one conducted by Colorado University last year and opens up options for scientists to save the depleting bee population around the world. The study found that the taller the cannabis plants are and the larger area they cover, the more bees will flock to that farm, with taller plants attracting 17 times more buzz than the shorter ones. What’s even more interesting is that there are 16 different varieties of the marijuana plant that could support these bee populations. But even as bees seem to love the cannabis plant, they can’t actually get high off it since insects aren’t known to have any cannabinoid receptors. These findings are confusing when you consider that cannabis neither has a nectary taste nor the vibrant colours that generally catch the attention of bees. However, the bees are more into the male plants that usually grow alongside the flowering female ones that produce the bud you put into your bongs, but have no psychoactive properties. This study is especially crucial given that bees are responsible for the cross-pollination of flowers that furthers the growth of the fruits and vegetables we need for survival. Except, tha
