I have the same probelm too, too many flowers, but all tiny fruits. I am going to try this manual fertilization.

HELP, i have been trying to grow cucumbers (burpless), the plant looks great, get flowers, get little tiny cucumbers then they go YELLOW and die. I have been watering and regular sea sol. Do you think it is because they are planted next to tomatoes? Help please,

Pam, Seasol is NOT a fertiliser, it is a plant tonic and soil conditioner. When used accordingly, it is highly beneficial in assisting the plant with nutrient uptake.

Pam, it sounds like your female flowers are trying to produce fruit but because they aren't getting fertilised by the male flowers, the little fruit are turning yellow and dying. You might want to give manual fertilising a go - pluck off the male flowers (small ones with no tiny 'fruit' at their base) and brush their faces on the faces of the female ones to transfer the pollen. Good luck!

Hi Bryan The same thing was happening to my apple cucumbers but they seem ok now. I just pulled the leaves off which gave the plant more breathing space. I dont know if they're lacking in something (I feed them with a weak mix of worm waste) but they're fruiting and seem ok now. Dee :)
