If it is broad beans, this is the time for blackfly. Tell your neighbour to take the tops off the bean plants. The blackfly love the tender new tops, but they won't harm the beans.

Dunno then, I don't grow kale. Possibly the only other remedy would be gauze netting, to keep the flies off, but she will have to get rid of the infestation first.
