Runner beans and frost

Just planted out some runner beans that were outgrowing their pots - Do they need protecting from frost.

If you could pop your rough location into your profile, it would help us a lot.

It will be about 2 months before I plant out runner beans here. They've not even been sown yet.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Put mine in the ground last year mid May and they got hit by the last frost, I lost the lot and was way behind everyone else as I had to start again.  Will not be planting mine out till the first week of June.
