My overwintered b/beans were fine but on pulling the plants up, I noticed lots of 2-3mm long orange grubs under the skin of the stem up to 200mm above ground level . Anyone know what they are? Is it ok to put them on the compost or play safe and burn them?
Thanks if you can help.
Spring sown beans look ok but very few pods-too dry I think.

Any chance of a photo?

I left the stalks to dry in the sun, I'll take a camera up tomorrow, if there any left , pic to follow.
Thanks D

Sorry cant help, not seen that before, but the stem looks way past it’s sell by date. Are you sure they are grubs & not just part of the rotting process now the plant has finished?
