Please see my recent post <a href="http://igrowveg.com/2009/07/5-common-pests-and-diseases-of-beans-and-peas/" rel="nofollow">5 Common Pests and Diseases of Beans and Peas</a> for more details on this pest and others. Pea Aphids are wingless and can suck the sap from stems of beans or peas. They are common in hot and wet summers. Treatment includes encouraging predators of aphids into yout garden or buying them in like lacewings, hoverflies, ladybirds etc. Please view my post <a href="http://igrowveg.com/2009/07/beneficial-insects-in-the-vegetable-garden/" rel="nofollow">Beneficial Insects in the vegetable garden</a> for more details.
