My pole beans which were speckled butter beans did the same think and I have noticed stick bugs in mass numbers this year so guess that is possible.
As far as beens to grow I would recommend Tender Green or improved Tender Green, They produce very well and I have never had issues with them at all. I talked about it in another post but I did not grow any this year as I already had selves of them canned. I still have jars of green beans from 08 and 09. So I guess my only warning with them is plant what you need lol, we eat 1 -3 jars a week of green beans and I still have two massive selves of those things.
Another bonus of tender green is it is round green bean with no strings and it is not shelly, Meaning that it does not contain large beans unless you let it grow out for seed
