Pumpkin flowers are only open for about 6 hours beginning at sun up. Bees only have this window of time to move the pollen from male to female blossoms and several visits to the female need to occur for successful pollination. To increase the likelihood of successful pollination, you can try to do it manually. Hand pollination may be the way to go.

Remove the entire male flower, remove the petals then put the male flower in so you can transfer the pollen from the stamen of the male to the stigma of the female.

If all goes well, meaning the weather cooperates, the plant gets 6-8 hours of sun and consistent water, hand pollination is a fairly sure way to correct a pumpkin plant that is not producing.

NOTE: Female blossoms can easily be identified because they have a small fruit swelling at the base near the stem.
