We have had an extremely humid hot summer here on the coast. Plenty cucs no zucs. It's definitely a pollinator thang- few bees but lots of others ie wasps etc. If you are in a warmish enviro, just wait; those female or male flowers will arrive and the bees will come. Provide water in your garden- dishes, baths etc. Other reasons could be that the cucs are being over fertilised, not in the sun enuf etc. Google (but wait)
