One of the problems with having fertile male flowers around is that many of your edible banana cultivars will get pollinated naturally and the fruit will have seeds.
One of the nice things about having fertile male flowers around is that you can have a limitless supply of seeds to grow and new varieties to develop without having to hand pollinate. And it's a really easy way of finding the fertile females in your collection.

Have you tried growing the seeds you've found to create new varieties?
If so, were you successful and what were your findings?
I've heard seeds found in 'edible' bananas are hard to germinate too
