Hang in there !
The first flowers from Curcubits are males (stamin) - needed for pollination.
The next set of flowers should be female (ova)- which will develop into fruit.
The female flowers should be slightly more bulbous at the base of the flower, and will develop into the fruit.

Aha! thanks for that!

The bees are loving them, so pollination is happening! :-)
