Any  population biology theories that shed light on these kinds of

Maybe the bees are more attracted to the stronger plants because those  
plants have more of what attracts the bee, or more of what the bee is  interested 
in? Stronger parents, stronger offspring? 
 
Maybe bee pods are set only on the more pod fertile stuff, and that  fact 
inherently signifies, possibly in relation to the above?
 
Population biology theories from the peanut gallery...
