Just a quick question. Since AG's are almost always pollinated by hand and all modern day seeds come from the same line, could a potential genetic mutation remove the need for natural pollination by bees? Not really sure how it'd be possible but I thought it was interesting to think about.

I guess it's a dumb question then? Sorry.

The plant doesn't know if its being pollinated by hand or by bees so genetically it would still have the need to be pollinated

I was just thinking it would be the same way some people don't have wisdom teeth anymore.
