This may be happening because they are male flowers or it may be a pollination issue. If the flowers that are drying up are male, it is nothing to worry about. This is natural and normal. If the flowers that are falling off are female, than there is a pollination problem.

If it is a pollination issue, you may want to consider hand pollinating. This article will help you with that:
