Nice, but what about bee's for pollination?

[Millet]

Many varieties do not require pollination.  The trees inside my greenhouse all set a good crop without any bees at all.

I agree, but get a lot better fruit set with the bees & humming birds.

I red in an article that in Spain it is illegal to put a bee hive within 2 miles of a clementine citrus grove, because if the grove is pollinated by bees the fruit will  then contains seeds.

If I remember correctly, don't they use gibberellic acid to pollinate clementines to prevent seeds? I still have my clementine going strong that I got budwood from Joe Real years ago. Excellent fruit quality too.
