Re: Confusion???
< I am
pollinating all other females but every single one has not taken except for
the two.>
One factor might be the heat. How hot is it when you pollinate and the six
hours thereafter? 80+? Could be the problem.
Are the males prime? Pick them the night before so that the bees don't get
all the pollen before you get to them, for example.
Or, you could simply be cursed because you have not offered 2 bushels of
prime cow dung (not horse) to the pumpkin gods, Cucur and Brit.
Hope this helps.
