Default Planting out runner beans?

I started to plant out some runner beans which have been started in the
greenhouse, SWMBO has told me there may be frosts which will affect them.

Is it possible there will still be some frost, and what effect would it have
on the beans anyway?

But most certainly, there could still be frosts! It's only April, after all
and one should not be lulled by this fine weather. One of our staff told me
this morning that he had ice on the windshield of his car this morning and
this is balmy Devonshire! We advise people not to risk anything until mid
to end of May and even then, to listen to weather forecasts.
