Most actual bugs are all susceptible to insecticide, so you can treat the plants with an insecticide (organic or chemical) and it will kill the bugs, but I am not sure that it is a bug that is after your beans.
Bugs tend to attack stems and leaves rather than the beans. If you are not seeing the “bugs” then it very well could be slugs or rodents who are doing the damage. They come out at night, so you would not see them on the plants during the day. These articles will help:
