Squash plants dropping flowers

My zucchini plants are big and beautiful but no squash! The flowers are laying on the ground. What would do this?

Squash have imperfect flowers. -there are male and female flowers. First the male flowers appear and then later on the female flowers. The male flowers will fall off.
If both male and female flowers are falling off, it could be lack of pollination.

Early this summer I watched for zucchini that didn't come. Got brave and took some q-tips and rubbed pollen from one to another not knowing which were male or female.
Well I had the best zucchini crop ever!

the art of hand pollination reigns in our hobby of Giant Pumpkins, and in the veggie beds as well, since the problem with the honey bee's began, the population has decreased signifcantly here, orchard bee's have tried to carry the load.
In the Giant arena, hand poll. is the only way to go to ensure that Your seed will be what you want it to be next year...
