You mentioned pole beans, are they runner bean phaseolus coccineus or is it common/climber/ bean phaseolus vulgaris.The climber is annual and self fertile, where the runner is a perennial and is what called an open pollenate, by bees,bumble bees flys etc.This may be the problem as bumble bees are the main pollenater for runners and squash,if there are only a few about =poor crop.
