I’m a new gardener

Question

This year my zucchini squash has only 1 squash and has more blossoms, but i don’t think I have any bees to pollinate. More female blossoms to hand pollinate. Do I need to pollinate each female blossom? Also, my cucumbers have many blossoms but do not see any baby cukes.

Cucumbers are identical to melons on how they pollinate, so this article will also apply to cucumbers: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/melons/hand-pollinating-melons.htm
