This year I had massive issues with rot on the end of my courgette &
at the base of the plants I had it on all 5 plants & then on my
squash.

Any idea what it could be & will it affect me next year. Was all find
previous years.


Google "blossom end rot" for a million hits. You are probably watering
unevenly. Unless it is deficient calcium in the soil watering evenly in
future should fix it.

???? Would the courgettes have started to grow enough to get a rotted end
if the flower hadn't been visited by a bee?
