Beans are self fertile, and do not require any help with pollination. The slightest breeze will pollinate the flowers. While this can be a case for some of the antique cultivars, it is not common. More than likely, there is a different problem.
These problems include too much moisture, not enough phosphorus in the soil, slightly too much nitrogen in the soil, or temperatures that are too warm. Alternatively, the soil could be a little too acidic, which will make phosphorus unavailable to the plant. A soil test will confirm this.
