What are the lines that look like scars on a watermelon's surface?

On a watermelon, there are often varying amounts of ';scar';-looking rough brownish lines across its surface. A produce guy at my local grocery store once told me they were lines of bee-stings, and that the more there were the sweeter the watermelon will be (which i've so far found to be true, actually) but i have a tough time believing they're bee-stings! any clues?What are the lines that look like scars on a watermelon's surface?
They are places where the rind tore a little from growing too fast, faster than the rind can keep up. This would mean there was plenty of water and nutrients available during the growing, which would make sense that the fruit is particularly tasty.





Bees do not sting plants. They sting only in defence. I can't imagine why they would find a watermelon threatening.What are the lines that look like scars on a watermelon's surface?
They are just that-scars. The rind was scratched/damaged as the melon was growing and that's how it heals.
