Default Can unpollinated squash form tiny fruit that never mature?

Can unpollinated yellow, summer crook neck squash form tiny (about 1-1/2 inch long) little squash fruit that never matures?

I am getting some little bitty squash fruit that just never matures. They get about 1-1/2 inch long and just shrivel up.

Some others actually get large enough to eat.

We don't have many bees coming around and I have never pollinated it by hand.

I read somewhere that unpollinated female squash blossoms will do that (produce fruit that never develops).

Does anybody know if that is true?

I thought that an unpollinated female blossom simply would not develop any fruit at all.

Thanks.
