Squash (Zucchini) can have a hard time producing if there is not ample insect interaction to pollinate the female flower.

I will describe this procedure as delicately as I can.

There are both male and female flowers on squash.

Male flowers have a slim stem all the way to the flower. They also have a slender stamen in the middle of the flower.

The female flower has a thicker stem and a small bulge under the flower (the beginning of the vegetable) the middle of the flower look like a receptor the male flower.

Break the male flower off the stem, remove the flower from around the stamen and place the male flower base along with the stamen inside the female flower.

You can move it around a bit to insure transfer of the pollen.

You are fertilizing the female flower directly with the pollen from the male flower this way, taking the place of the bees that would normally transfer the pollen.

I use this method constantly and so far this year have over 15 squash from 1 place
