So, if you have pollenated the flower and a bee comes along with pollen
after you (unless you have covered the flower) how do you know which
pollen fertilised the flower? You can't just assume it was the first
lot.
I have pollenated flowers on the next day after opening, but we don't
seem to have a problem with bees here.
