Nice, so the plants seem to produce these opioids to make bees sluggish and stay for longer in contact with the polen, therefore increasing chances of pollination. Makes one wonder to what extent the presence of these psychoactive substances in plantsare related with species using them and culturing/spreading them.
Michael Pollan wrote an interesting book examining just that, looking at human being's relationships with grain, apples, and cannabis.
You could make the claim that cannabis, for example, uses it's psychoactive properties to make it desirable to those stupid naked monkeys, that then propagate it and increase it's likelihood of reproductive success.
The same is true of grain.
Also, someone above me posted about Tramadol, but that seems to have been thrown into question, so we might want to strike it from the list
