You're lucky. For two years in a row, my zukes never grow. Last year we has a drought & bees were few, so plants weren't pollinated. This year, I planted lemon balm nearby to attract bees. I've seen a couple bees and pollinated with a small brush when flowers open briefly in the morning. Still, no zukes. Cucumber doing great. Bell peppers growing. Tomatoes, too. No zukes.
