With the focus being to produce honey and not harvesting cannabis, seeds won't be an issue at all. If anything, producing more seeds will only be a benefit as this will simply create more plants and hence more buds for bees to feed on. Cannabis plants are naturally pollenated by wind anyway and THC levels do drop when cannabis is pollenated but this will also be another benefit to EVE's interests because low THC/high CBD honey is exactly what they'll be hoping to produce. I can't really see high THC honey being allowed on supermarket shelves any time soon, although it would make eating my morning oats the highlight of my day! CBD (cannabidiol) content on the other hand is what has all the health benefits and the amount of CBD produced by a plant is dependent on which particular strain of cannabis plant is used. Additionaly, only the female cannabis plants produce buds (which is obviously what we want) and unless male plants are nearby, all seeds produced by female plants will only be female seeds. My apologies if I sound like I'm being a smart a because that's not my intention at all, it's just an area that I've done a lot of research in and I honestly think if EVE can pull this off it would be HUGE. Just gotta find a way to get those bees to pollenate cannabis instead of everything else, that's the hard part.

Basically if there are no male plants there is no seeds.. the resin that formulates on the flower of the female and the hairs from the buds capture the pollen from the male plant.

If you are training bees to collect honey you are either allowing them to get it from the male plant.. OR the female plant after it has been pollinated by the male plant. Pollen is produced by the male plant.

heres a clip.

With regards to plants creating seeds all on there own, they are hermaphrodite plants.. and are cross pollinated in a way where they produce both pollen and buds. you can have both female and male hermaphrodites. by this i mean they start as a female and change vise versa.

I'm not sure that would be the way to go with regards to crop creation. But I do believe the goal is to get as much pollen on a plant as possible. in which case the breeding of high CBD pollen from male plants.

THC is not a factor. Although the thought of stoned bees at work makes me smile.
