They're either not being pollinated before they die, or you have a water shortage and they're aborting early.

Keep them well watered, sprinkle the flowers when you water,( I just do) also some times the first flush of flowers don't set, keep calm and patient they will grow.

I think I read somewhere that if they aren't being pollinated you can help by spraying water on the flowers - just a fine jet. Another year try planting a few plants that bees love nearby.
