I have had a lot of flowers for a month now, but very few beans. Phaseolus vulgaris (French beans etc.) will not set if very short of water, but don't mind dry conditions. P. coccineus (runner beans) needs both enough water AND higher humidity! In very dry conditions (by UK standards), keeping runners well watered will cause them to grow but not crop.
