Answer 1

The flower needs to be pollinated, and then it will set fruit.  If you pull the flowers off, you will get no zucchinis.  Leave them on.

Answer 2

after the flower dies remove it......tom

You can pick MOST of the males off and fry them.  The females make the zucchini.  If you pick THEM off, no zucchini.
