I keep reading in the vegetable forums that there seems to be a lot of problem with unpollinated plants. I have heard that one of the possible reasons for the shortage of bees is all the genetic changes in the commercial crops. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

Never heard anything definite, but it's been said to be one possibility.
