ditto on the "tincture of time" (I LOVE that expression!) And Dave is right, if you have blossoms you'll have beans. As for the bees, beans are self-pollinating so if they are being distracted to your other veggies you'll still get beans.
Pole beans take a little longer to produce than bush beans but the trade-off is they will keep producing until a hard frost/freeze. I see you are in zone 8 but am not sure which zone 8...just wondering 'cus when temps get super hot bean pollen will tend to not be as viable as they would be in cooler temps. No worries, once they are in agreement with their surroundings you should get a bumper crop.
