Thanks! What's the magic? I tried the embed YouTube stuff on the Go Advanced section.

The code should look like this with the outer brackets removed to null the code:

Maybe this is clearer (inner brackets removed and replaced with " so code does run);

I recorded in super hi-res mode on my phone. Watching it in slow-mo @ 120 frames / second is really neat, especially watching the flowers vibrate when the bee buzzes its wings.

I was going to bag blossoms for this reason, but given the success rate I've read about from folks on this forum I simply am saving seeds from the first truss of fruit on a plant. Unless I find an unacceptable number of crosses I'll just use that method.
