Comment-my 10 year average shows the first male open 9 days before the first
female.This is an average.
My explanation is that this is nature's clever way of getting bees
habituated to the plant,then when a female opens the bees are there.

Question: In my brief experience with AGs I have found that there are
always a couple of early (and lonesome) male flowers out days before the
females. After positively identifying these early males should I pick them
to save the plant's energy??
