massive Bosons have 'flavors' too ??

[Widdekind]

If all massive fermions have 3 'flavors' or 'generations', then might massive bosons also have two or more 'flavors' or 'generations' ? Would the [math]B^0, W^{\pm}, Z^0[/math] constitute such a 'series' ??

[Widdekind]

If all bosons are spin S=1 particles; and if the S_z=0 state is suppressed, amongst mass-less bosons (i.e. all mass-less bosons have definite chirality, S_z = 1,-1); then can massive bosons exist in an S_z=0 state, i.e. can fermions exchange massive bosons without "spin flipping" ??

I'll take a chocolate [math]W^-[/math] please.
