Insect pollination requirements, short and specific open-and-shut times, staggered female and male floral openings, and stickily thick pollen are the special features of pumpkin flowers that welcome use of non-native pollinating bees over native insects. Pumpkin fruits set only through insect pollination even though one plant contains both female and male flowers. Bumblebees, whose buzz vibration moves pollen grains from where they need to be, and squash bees have hairy, large bodies to which pollen easily sticks, and start their day early, in sync with the dawn open and pre-noon close of pumpkin flowers.

Grass flowers are wind-pollinated, so they do not need showy petals to attract pollinators like bees or butterflies. Instead, they produce abundant pollen that is carried by the wind to fertilize other grass flowers. Petals are not necessary for wind pollination, so grass flowers have evolved to prioritize producing large amounts of lightweight pollen instead.

Are grapes wind pollinated or do bees pollinate them?

Grapes are primarily self-pollinated, relying on their own flowers' mechanisms rather than wind or bee pollination. While bees and other insects can visit grape flowers, they do not play a significant role in the pollination process. Instead, grape vines typically produce perfect flowers containing both male and female reproductive parts, allowing them to fertilize themselves effectively.
