Bells always seem problematical, Old Bay, and I've given up trying.
Typically they go into a sort of stasis when the hot weather hits. The plants don't die, but they don't grow anymore either. They just sit there, waiting.
Then, when the nights start to cool down in late August and September, they start growing. By which time it's far too late to expect a crop.
Oddly enough, many of the other sweet peppers do just fine. And the chilies love the heat, and will drive you out.
