Squash blooms galore

[trumpetvine]

I have several varieties of squash planted & they are blooming up a storm. The bees are buzzing around everywhre, so I would think there is plenty of polination happening........BUT no squash??? Any ideas?

this is not my advice however it sounds very logical to me,, it takes two, to make it a go, see what someone else has to say for sure,, but take it and research it or see what happens,,

1. Q. Each year my squash blooms profusely but seldom produces any squash to eat. What is wrong?


A. Squash plants produce male and female blooms. For fruit to set, pollen must be transferred from the male to the female bloom. Pollinating insects, mostly bees, carry out this important job resulting in fresh squash for the kitchen. When treating the garden for insects and diseases, spray or dust during the late afternoon to avoid killing bees. Nematode infestations can also cause this problem. Check roots for galls
