Well, I’m not an Entomologist either, but a fly, a beetle, a bird, a dragonfly, a butterfly, the wind, a person with a Q-tip and a basic understanding of biology...all can pollinate crops, trees, flowers, fruit, etc.

One can also switch to growing heirloom varieties of vegetables, no matter WHAT Monsanto tells us. ;) Most are self-pollinating, hence the reason they’ve been around for hundreds of years. They don’t need anyone but their own little selves to survive and produce. Hey! They’re Libertarian Vegetables, LOL!

I worked for this awesome company for seven years. Seven of the happiest working years of my life, even though I had to put up with a lot of Hippies. :)
