Default Runner Beans

I seem to be losing an extraordinary amount of flowers from my plants this
year. I would expect some to drop with high winds, but these just seem to be
dropping off for no apparent reason (that I can see).
Has anyone any idea what could be causing this?? appreciate any advice!

Cheers ~Brian~


I've always understood that spraying runner beans with water helps the
flowers to set and to produce beans.
