Why are bees instead of native insects recommended for pollinating pumpkin flowers?
Insect pollination requirements, short and specific open-and-shut times, staggered female and male floral openings, and stickily thick pollen are the special features of pumpkin flowers that welcome use of non-native pollinating bees over native insects. Pumpkin fruits set only through insect pollination even though one plant contains both female and male flowers. Bumblebees, whose buzz vibration moves pollen grains from where they need to be, and squash bees have hairy, large bodies to which pollen easily sticks, and start their day early, in sync with the dawn open and pre-noon close of pumpkin flowers.
