Cucumbers have male and female flowers. The female ones have the baby cucumbers behind the flower. They need the pollen to be transferred from a male flower for the fruit to develop. Otherwise the female flower and baby fruit die off. Usually this is done by bees and other pollinators, but you can use a q-tip to transfer the pollen from the male flower by hand.
