Subject: squash bugs?
This could be due to inadequate pollination. If the female flower is not pollinated (in this case by bees) then no fruit develop and the flower will drop off. Inadequate pollination can be due to insufficient populations of pollinators, or poor conditions for pollinator activity (excessive heat or rain, etc.). Squash is pollinated by both honey bees and native bees. Are you seeing any bees on the plants?
