2002 journal article
Diurnal activity, floral visitation and pollen deposition by honey bees and bumble bees on field-grown cucumber and watermelon
JOURNAL OF APICULTURAL RESEARCH, 41(1-2), 27–34.
author keywords: Apis mellifera; honey bees; Bombus impatiens; bumble bees; Cucurbitaceae pollination; pollen deposition; floral visitation rate; floral anthesis; alternative pollinators
TL;DR:
B. impatiens was more effective than A. mellifera during the initial hours of floral anthesis which is when these crops are most receptive to pollination, as time-of-day had a marked influence on pollen deposition in these studies.

2002 journal article
Pollen mobilization in selected cucurbitaceae and the putative effects of pollinator abundance on pollen depletion rates
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR HORTICULTURAL SCIENCE, 127(5), 729–736.
author keywords: cucumber; Cucumis sativus; muskmelon; Cucumis melo; watermelon; Citrullus lanatus; pollen depletion
TL;DR:
The results suggest that total pollen production in these crops may not necessarily reflect total pollen availability to floral visitors (bees), and most of the accessible pollen was removed shortly after anthesis, which is when these crops are most receptive to pollination.

1998 journal article
Seed production in watermelon: A comparison between two commercially available pollinators
HORTSCIENCE, 33(1), 28–30.
author keywords: bumble bees; Bombus impatiens; honey bees; Apis mellifera; pollination; Citrullus lanatus
TL;DR:
It is concluded that bumble bees have great potential to serve as a supplemental pollinator for watermelon when honey bees available for rental are in limited supply.
