Yeah Many times, don't worry there is more than enough pollen to pollinate the corn for you. In fact one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen is a field of corn in the perfect pollen stage filled with bumblebees working the tassels just before the last rays of sun hit the field for the evening. I guess the bees still have use for all that corn pollen even though nature doesn't need them for pollination.
