Green Beans Won't Make

For 20 years we canned 35 quarts of Kentucky Wonder pole beans each summer, however for the past 4 years, we have canned nothing. Now we get great plants, lots of flowers and no beans. We also raise Nickel bush beans and the same thing is going on. I moved the beans around to different places in our large market garden and this year, bought two hives of honey bees thinking I had a pollinator problem. Today I have beautiful bean plants, flowers, lots of bees but no beans. We usually plant around April 15-20 here near Little Rock in zone 7 and a gardener friend of mind said the hot weather is arriving sooner and preventing the beans from making. I know last frosts are happening earlier and extreme hot weather is arriving sooner. This year we went into mid-summer heat the last week of May. So, is it the heat? I can't believe heat loving Kentucky Wonders can't take a little global warming! Any ideas, thoughts? Many thanks.
