<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Thanks for the video and the link has been sent to my Ethnobotany students. Unfortunately, it avoids the question of "what are the native pollinators of V. planifolia. How were those farmers convinced into buying what
look like Trigona colonies or do you think they are Melipona species (hard to see and hope Dr. Buchmann can answer the question)? It's obvious that the makers of the video didn't consult much with Dr. Pesach Lubinsky.</p>
