Are you seeing plenty of flowers forming on your squash plants but not many fruit growing?
Do you grow your plants under plastic to stop common pests?
In this short video we explain how to distinguish between male and female plants and demonstrate how you can manually pollinate your plants to ensure they produce a maximum amount of fruit.

"easiest" way to increase pollination…. become a beekeeper.
Maybe pick out the male bit and spread it around the females? Would that be easier I wonder?
I learned on GQT the other day that some Flowers Only "Give Out" when they feel the Buzzing frequency of a Honey Bee's oscillations …
BBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZ.. OOER
I tried it on apricot flowers in February/March (no bees this year) but no luck. I didn't really see any pollen on the brush when I tried brushing the middle of flower. Not sure what I did wrong.
I just pull the petals off the male flowers and insert them into the females. It seems to work.
My mom walked in on me when I was hand pollinating at 15…scarred me for life, it did.
I really enjoyed watching your video. Thanks for sharing.
Funny that I stumbled onto this video, as I was doing the very same thing just this morning! I didn't use a paint brush, but I did think that it'd probably be best suited for the purpose.
Well done
How often should I hand pollinate? Only pollinate once, every day, or every week, to already pollinated flowers? Thanks.
If 89% of pimps are drunk, well i guess that makes you one drunk pimp, mah brotha. Thanks bro.
Where are you getting the pollen?
Loved the video. super simple to follow
Wow so nice video
so sad this only has 18k views. it shows how few people make the effort
Would you need to use a different brush for each type of squash, or is it safe to cross pollinate?
Helpful, informative, concise. Perfect.
Thanks for the video, and have a like for your efforts. 🙂
why do we need to pollinate? will it gives you more fruit? i don't understand please help
If we would stop killing the bees, we wouldn't need to self pollenate. Albert Einstein said “If the disappeared off the face of the Earth, man would only have four years left to live.” Stop spraying pesticides.
Wow that was super concise and super helpful thank you!
Problem with my zucchini is that it’s not growing any female flowers, just big, smelly males ones.
Do you have to do every single flower that way?
This is much nicer than seeing farmers inseminate animals for meat/dairy. 🙂
My brush didn’t pick up any pollen. I found I only have male flowers. The female ones were all dead on shrivelled female fruit and flowers. Perhaps I started too late. I have lots of buds.
Quick,simple, and to the point. Nice! Please take this like.
