Why beans instead of Lives?

I am currently having difficulties getting lives I have requested I keep receiving beans instead. I made this request from my kindle and some of that was fixed but the problem is still continuing from my computer.

If you have a full set of lives in Farm Heroes (5) at the time of receiving lives from friends, then they will automatically turn into Magic Beans Magic Beans are great too, but if you want lives make sure that you don't ask for lives until you have 4 or less left. I hope this helps.

I wish it was like the other games as Candy Crush Soda where you can get lives as many as you like and they will be saved untill you need them. I don't like this action that you get beans instead of lives.
