Watermelons must be pollinated in order to set fruit. Male and female flowers grow separately, the male flowers appearing about a week before the female flowers do. You can identify female flowers by the swollen base, which will turn into fruit once pollinated. Watermelons also have perfect flowers, with both male and female parts. In order for female (or perfect) flowers to grow into a proper, good-sized (7- to 10-pound) watermelon that is not lopsided, it must receive at least eight visits from pollinators such as bees.
