The hummingbirds hardly know where to go, as they have so many choices right now! In addition to the scarlet runner bean flowers, they really like the agapanthus, hardy fuchsias, and alstroemeria.
Speaking of alstroemeria, you 'deadhead' them by taking hold of the stem low enough so that you can pull out the entire stem. This leaves room for new stems to come up, and it stimulates the plant to keep producing. Pull out the weak stems (usually pale color and thin) and those that are not going to produce flowers as well.
