    Mice or birds love to feed on pea seeds. Most birds can be scared off by placing flash tape or predator balloons in the garden. Placing fake snakes in the area may also help.

    You should not move them now, this would most certainly cause stress and likely loss of flowers or the plants themselves.
    Enjoy them this year and make the planting change next year.

    If you are getting plenty of flowers but nothing produces, then it is most likely due to poor pollination. Hand pollination often helps. These articles will help you with attracting more pollinators:

    If you are not seeing flowers, then you likely have too much nitrogen in the soil and should offset this by adding more phosphorus. This can be achieved by using a phosphorus-rich fertilizer or by adding bone meal.

    It may be a nitrogen/phosphorus imbalance in the soil. Too much nitrogen and too little phosphorus can result in little to no blooming, which means either no fruit or much smaller than normal. Stunted growth can also be attributed to excessive temps, such as with the high heat many of us have been experiencing, so be sure to give the plant plenty of water.

    Make sure the soil is moist and try giving them a bit of slow-release balanced fertilizer at half strength. Also, beans do best in soil that has been inoculated and it's not too late to do this. This article will explain more on that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/beans/soil-inoculants.htm

    Thank you Downtoearthdigs. The answer is very helpful. I think it was because I planted in the same bedding that I growed beans the previous season? They are both legumes?

    This appears to be a fungus of some kind.
    Some fungus can be treated but others will need to be addressed with crop rotation, growing conditions and seeds that are disease resistant.

    Here is a link that will help you pinpoint the issues.
