In that case (I really was just tacking on a joke to a serous question)
then I have lots and lots of bee pods all over the sibs and pseuds. 
What happens next?  Do they fall to the ground and grow new plants?  I
thought they  multiplied just with offshoots.  If you cut off a bee pod
and put it in a pot, would it grow?  Is this a good idea or just let Mom
Nature do with us as she will?

I hope your sting wasn't terrible.  I'm allergic to stings of all kinds
(particularly no-seeums and am terrified of a bee sting and hope I never
get one).
