Is it the fruit, the cucumber, or the vine dying that is the problem?

If the fruit that means it did not get properly pollinated.

If some portions of the vine are dying there are numerous reason beginning with the stems are breaking and loosing contact with the rest of the plant and are not being fed.

Or it may be an insect. Any sign of borers, Spider Mites, etc.?

Probably not a disease, although that may be a possibility as well.

Thank you for the information! The vine is fine, it's only the fruit! So does this mean I don't have enough pollinators, bees etc? :(

just as an aside .. i gave up cukes.. as not worth the effort for what return i got ...

there are a whole myriad of reasons for crop failure.. and it just ended up not being worth the irritation ... lifes to short to be pissed off with cukes.. lol ...

to my viewing.. you have a very healthy planting.. and some great produce ... and it seems your only complaint is.. you arent getting enough ... maybe you ought to be happy with what you did get ...

you might get more suggestions in teh veg forum ... or cornicopia ... whatever they call it ..... etc ....

you can pollinate the flowers by tickling the center of the male with an artist's brush, then transferring to a female.

Or you could take a male blossom, strip the petals off the flower, and waggle the stamen around in the female flower. Many people have done that if they did not have an artists brush handy.
