Hi Chris, broad bean plants are like homing devices for black fly - they love them. Pinch off the tops of the plants, which is what attracts them, now that bean pods are set. This should remove a load of black fly. If there are leaves that are totally covered in black fly then you could remove some of these aswell. Next year once the first bean pods are set just pinch out the tops of the broad bean plants which should stop the black fly infesting your plants.
