I am posting this one again as I got no comments the last time but (ah,
hah), this time I have photos to show what my problem is. PLEASE can
somebody tell me what is going on?
Please see photos and any suggestions would be great. One thing I will
mention is that I am growing sweet peas next to the beans and the sweet
peas had loads of those flea beetles so wondering if they are the
culprits.
There are a couple of very young beans that I can see and I am watching
the plants daily to see if I get any more. Very frustrating!

It's noticeable that there are tiny beans forming from the first flowers
yet all the other flowers are gone. Suspect it's birds pulling off the
flowers, a common problem with red flowered Runners.
I too was going to say that there was a most distinct and unnatural
looking break in the spot where the flowers had been.
