Pumpkins Blooming and forming. This is a second patch of pie pumpkins so that we will have plenty. The Male blooms form first to begin attracting bees, then the female bloom forms, where the fruit will form. Bees are a must for pumpkin production. The pollen from the male flower must be transferred to the female flower for pollination to occur. 2 to 3 visits for squash or bumble bees. 6-8 visits for honey bees.
