I think the middle number is the blossom number. The last number is the fruit number. If you have a question, look on the lable of orchid food, the middle number is high. I too heard that the honey bee population is in jeapordy.

May be a regional problem. So far this year we have been so blessed that I have taken over 250 pounds of produce to the local food bank. Next year I will plant a much smaller garden. Right now the fridge is full of melon, cucumbers, and tomatoes. I pulled all the green beans out because we had so many I couldn't keep up with picking them. Wish I could send some to you folks having problems. Ann in TN

My beans have done well enough this year, but have heard several people say they aren't getting any. Now, I am waiting for the peaches on our four trees! One year, I canned 60 qts off of one tree! And we have too many this year, too.

I am having the same problem.....and never thought about pollination, silly me. I will bet that is what is going on.
I have a second garden in a church community garden, and planted zuchinni and it seemed a little slow also, but everyone else seems to be getting lots of beans there. We didnt plant any in that garden, so that doesnt help. Ah well, I actually BOUGHT some from the farmers market....gotta help those people too.
