Default HELP! Banana flowers falling off!

Hello everyone, I've posted before about how this is my first banana flower on my Ice Cream banana tree. The first 3 bananas set well and are growing, but every one since then (over the last 3-4 weeks I believe) has shriveled up and fallen off as though the flower wasn't pollinated. I tried going out there with a q-tip and gently rubbing the ends of the flowers to attempt manual pollination, but that didn't help. Do I have to do it at a certain time of day? Or is this a different problem? Please help, I really want to have more than 3 bananas this year!
