From this experiment‚ it showed that slightly less than half of the larvae that fed on the milkweed dusted with Bt-corn pollen did not survive

usually caused by pollens from plants‚ especially in the spring time when flowers are in full bloom. Pollen contains allergens which‚ by definition‚ are proteins that can trigger Th2 responses which produce high levels of IgE‚ also known as hypersensitivity‚ making the body think the foreign substance is dangerous when it’s harmless (1).

plant has flowered‚ usually in summer‚ it produces a sweet pollen mixture that lures bees and other insects. When the bees arrive‚ they get their feet wet with the pollen as they drink the plant’s nectar. The plant relies on the sperm-producing pollen coming into contact with the egg-containing stigma.
