Yes... itsy-bitsy-tiny spores of a substance known to the modern Bee & Man as pollen. Sometimes the spores can be so small you can't really see them with the naked eye, but believe me they are there. Just go outside and try to wipe your finger across the top of your car and your pick up hundreds of spores, unless of course it's been raining. Normally rain will help clear the air for awhile, but look out the next time the sunshines or things dry out just a little. As long as they aren't disturbed they aren't to bad, but once you try to rub them off your skin the spores, (they are called pollen spores for a reason) grab hold, maybe it is a defense mechanism, kind of like hold on so the wind doesn't blow them away before the bees have there shot at them. Hope this helps, it explains why they seem to cling together sometimes for protection. This is my explanation of how I see pollen behaving and may conflict with other scientific research, theirs is wrong mine is right... science blows a lot of theories, and they don't understand nature.

Makes perfect sense to me! Thanks. :-)

It is a good thing O-Strand is so wise. Why would we ever listen to science?
