Hi ya'll

I was wondering if I need to hand pollinate my one plant if a lot of bees are present. I have 4 hives within 100 feet of her. (approx 120,000 bees). Thanks for any feedback!

Only 120,000? I'm not sure if thats enough to do the job;)

you only need to hand pollinate if you want to control your cross. if you dont care what cross you make, let the bees have a party. i dont have any hives, but the bees always manage to sneak in a few pollinations of pumpkins in weird places that i find when there like 150 pounds and i cant move them unless i ruin the plant. the bees will do the job if you want.

I thinks the bees will do the job. They will probably even provide some security for you..hehe

You have convinced me. I'll let nature take its course.

Thanks for the advise everyone!
