Today I went out to look at my pumpkin, and on my way I stopped to look at the watermelon plant. There was a bunch of ants crawling to the bottom of the flower (inside the flower down the holes). And when I looked at my pumpkin's flowers, there was a bee in one sticking his little tounge down in the three little holes.

What's down there that both of them like so much?

(one flower was a female, and the other was a male)

cool, I wondered what humming birds drank. Certainly not the pollen.
