Even plants that never set pods get dabbed in my garden if it's a good one. Tet spiders are among the hardest to set pods on for some reason in my garden but I still try. Most of the bee pods I had this year are on my dips but I seen 2 or 3 on some tets I'm no longer crossing.
I don't keep my own bee pods because I have enough controled crosses of most my own plants there is no need in keeping bee pods. However I do take bee pods from others if I don't have that flower in my yard and think it would work well in my program. I name all my bee pod seedlings I get from others the name of the flower followed by OP for open pollinated. I have several that have turned out really good. I was pitching all my bee pods this year until a friend told me she wanted them so I started saving them for her.
