Quick questions for my outdoor grommies about bees

After the pollination question on another thread, was wondering.

Bees are attracted to lots of flowers, have any of you guys experienced the bees on your flowering cannabis. Please post pics if you have.

Do hummingbirds investigate? Please and thanks.

From my understanding, cannabis is primarily pollinated via wind, so you would think that it wouldn’t attract any bees. That being said, you can find honeybees taking pollen from all sorts of plants including Soybeans and corn which are also wind-pollinated. In central VA we are about to enter a nectar and pollen dearth, so the bees will be looking for any available source for food from now until we get a small nectar flow again in the fall. My Cannabis will probably enter flower in the next few weeks, so I’ll keep my eyes peeled. I’ve kept honeybees for several years now, I’m always interested in what they’re doing and feeding on.
