"Did you know bee pollination is essential for a successful watermelon crop? Honeybees and wild native bees pollinate approximately 75% of the fruits and vegetables grown in the U.S. Since watermelons do not self-pollinate and have separate male and female flowers, bees must transfer 500 to 1,000 large, sticky pollen grains from male to female flowers. Watermelon flowers are only open for one day, making it vital that the flower is visited by bees on that day, so that the opportunity for pollination is not missed! This means plenty of bees are needed for pollinating a field of watermelons! Be sure to pick up locally grown watermelon at a farmers’ market or retailer near you! #NationalWatermelonMonth"
