I read that sometimes male solitary bees will sleep in trombetta blossoms waiting for a female to show up to get some birds and bees action going.

Well, with all the bees snuggled up in blooms that I’ve got, it must be the local “Bees Knees Motel” .... I’m going to have to start charging rent!
Okay, I sliced and diced a trombetta today, and I have to report there was no film on the cutting board, knife, peeler, or my hands. The trombetta I used was one I harvested three days ago, and it wasn’t refrigerated during that time, so I am guessing the film has something to do with your Trombettas being juicier, newly harvested, or something else...more water as they grew??
