HOW DOES A BEAN FLOWER TURN INTO A POD—WITHOUT POLLEN FROM ANOTHER PLANT?

The secret is self-pollination.

A bean flower contains both the male parts (anthers) and female parts (stigma, style and o***y). As the flower matures, its anthers release pollen, which reaches the stigma within the same flower, often around or even before the flower fully opens.

But pollination is only the beginning.
Pollen to Stigma to Pollen tube to Fertilisation to Pod + Seeds
After pollen lands on the stigma, it germinates and forms a pollen tube that grows down through the style toward the o***y. Male reproductive cells travel through this tube and fertilise the ovules.
Then the transformation begins:
O***y to Bean pod
Fertilised ovules to Bean seeds
This is why beans are predominantly self-pollinating and can successfully produce pods without depending heavily on pollen from neighbouring plants.
