Subject: Re: New Mandarin Orange


Interesting thing about seedless oranges. There is an ongoing fight in California between seedless orange farmers and bee keepers. The bees will cause cross pollination and seeds if non-seedless oranges are anywhere around. Oranges do not require bees at all and bee keepers normally have to pay (I can understand this, orange honey is my favorite kind and it costs more) to place bees in an orange grove. To get around paying, sometimes bees are placed outside the property that contains the oranges. If there are seedless oranges there, the fight is on.
