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).
