Lost control of my Runner Bean Jungle!

in Fruit & veg
I feel like I’ve lost control of my runner beans 🙈 I planted one plant per cane but they’ve grown so much that I can’t even see into the middle so I’m sure I’m missing lots of beans.
The other side …

As they grew to the top of the cane I cut the tops off to stop them growing like Jack and the Beanstalk but we went away for a weekend at the end of June and just in a couple of days the beans went wild. Is this normal? There are lots of flowers and loads of bees doing their thing but I’m not getting loads of beans yet, I managed to find a handful today. Am I doing something wrong as I’m sure my parents runner beans didn’t look like this?
