Well, (off the top of my head) guarana berries are caffeinated. There may be more. Plants have caffeine because it helps defend them from insects.

- rbanffy 17y agoA couple years back, I was working in an office where it was usual to go out of the building to smoke and/or get some coffee. More than once I had my cup of coffee stolen by very aggressive bees that, I thought, were attracted to the sugar. I then switched to sweetener, but the bees kept coming. They had either associated the smell of the coffee with the presence of sugar, or were addicted to caffeine. I felt it was better to leave the coffee to the bees than to argue with caffeine-addicted africanized bees.
