Oh wow! I'm glad you figured it out. I was growing some pumpkin vines outside and they were only producing male flowers. When I planted some in my greenhouse, they produced male and female flowers. I literally got one pumpkin from outside, but inside I have multiple ones growing. I think mine is due to the excessive amount of water we've had this year in Panama. I see bees regularly around our place which is good.

Bees are pivotal, and pesticides are reducing them to critical levels! It will starve people, and needs to stop.
I'm glad you have a good bee population! You should post pictures of the pumpkins here for people to enjoy.
I've been told that tomatoes wind pollinate, but they didn't put on any fruit until I intervened and pollinated the flowers?
Stay safe!

Interesting that you had to pollinate the tomatoes as well. I have done a few posts about my greenhouse. Waiting for a few of the pumpkins/zapallo to grow to be bigger. I have some crook neck squash growing in my greenhouse. There is a lot of spraying/pesticides used here, but we still see a lot of bees and bugs.
It hasn't reached critical mass there, but pesticides are dangerous to the honey bees. Glad they are hanging in, where you are! All we have to do is stop poisoning them....
