>I'm not sure if it's the same for cukes's, but an apple needs to be
visited by a bee at least 4 or 5 times for good pollenation to set every
seed chamber. If you see an apple in the store that looks really lopsided,
it hasn't been fully pollenated.

> I beleive the cuke's will form tiny fruit without proper pollenation,
then it reaches a point where it just aborts itself. We see this to some
extent on our apple trees too.
