Hi Tracy,
From first glance, your damage appears to be a results of cooler temperatures. According to PlantVillage, beans should be direct seeded in the garden in when the soil has reached a temperature of at least 15.5°C (60°F), with the optimum temperature for germination being between 15.5 and 29°C (60–85°F). The beans also prefer direct sunlight... Are they getting enough light? Also during cooler nights cover your plants with plastic to conserve the soil temperature. Hope this helps.

Tracy,
It looks like sunburn after rain on young and rapidly growing leaves. Direct sunlight after good rain can cause such symptoms. I don't think there is any infection, but dead tissue can be colonized by saprophytic or semi-pathogenic fungi.

I agree with the sunburn theory, I see this in greenhouse grown beans that have not seen the sun for a few days. then one sunny day boom. any leaf can be affected, but they tend to adjust as the summer rolls in.
