I have found live, and dead bees in blossoms. I even found a bee in a
blossom which had not "opened" yet. He was forcing the door!
I think the nectar of the pumpkin plant may be intoxicating. Yesterday I
was spraying my plants with foliar fert (kelp) and when I squirted one
flower (just to test my aim) four bees flew out. I think they were
partying!
