How long window of opportunity to get a successful pollination does someone have to successfully pollinate a opened female? I know prime time is first thing in the morning but If say one needed to travel a few hours for pollen and would'nt be able to get back to pollinate before say noon do you think it still would be viable to get a successful pollination? of course the female would be covered to prevent any bee's from getting in, and remember their is no pollen anywhere in the patch or miles around?
