Hi Jim - they could have been taken by ants and stored for a later date - that is what happened to most of my seeds for the last 4 months. Now as most of the ants are dead I have got seeds popping up all over the place.

Just an idear Jim, but did you water only once after sowing? I've read that you must only water once to provent rotting, maybe your bean seeds just decomposed into the potting mix?
