I suspect that your flowers may not be getting pollinated, making them wither
and die lie old maids. Bees, flies, ants and vagrant breezes are all vectors of
pollination. However, if they are not present ..... and present at the correct
time, well ............

From: www.thechilliking.com/growing/growing-chilli-peppers-guide/

"Pollination will be taken care of naturally by bees and other insects if you
plants are kept outside. If grown inside your plants may suffer from flower
drop  in which case you may want to consider hand pollination. Don’t worry,
this is not as sordid as it may sound. All you need to do is wait until you
have a few flowers on your plants then lightly rub your little finger inside
the flower heads on your plants. Alternatively use a small artists paint brush
or a cotton bud. This will do the bees job of moving pollen around from flower
to flower."

That site is a nicely concise guide to growing and taking care of peppers
(chilies - but, bells are cousins). I recommend it if anyone is even moderately
interested in the cultivation of capsicums.
