[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am having the same problem with my cucumbers and I posted the question on a gardening forum. The response I got was that because of the hot weather the bees are not as active and therefore not pollinating as they should be. [/quote] That's crazy talk!! My yard is full of bees. Try planting herbs that flower -- a pollinator favorite -- like oregano, thyme and calamint. Plant a couple of lesser calamints (nepeta calamentha) and when it blooms it will be covered in bees. Also gaura is a great bee attractant. Bees slow down in cool weather, not hot. As for females flowers, squash are very fickle plants! It's very common for the ladies show up later, about 2 weeks later. Be patient. There's not much else you can do.[/quote]
