Zucchini squash going bad.

 


My green zucchini squash is turning yellow and soft on the blossom end
before it is even big enough to do anything with.

Any idea why and how to make it stop?

 



Most likely its Blossom End Rot

There be no bees.
Not that I have seen anyway.
There once was a hive just next door, but they all died off for
unknown reasons.

I’ll start treatment for blossom end rot right now, and see if that
helps.
I notice that calcium deficiency is part of that problem.
Should I put some calcium vitamin pills in the dirt around the plant?

If there aren't any bees your problem IS NOT blossom end rot. You female
flowers aren't getting pollinated. You're going to have to do it by hand.
See Billy's post.

Either there is a little sneak a bee activity, or someone else is
cutting in on there action.

I am harvesting good looking fruit, just that some of it is not making
it.
It does the end softening thing while still thumb sized.

Not all the fruit, just about 1 in 5.
