Re: Green Bean Problem/Help

Look inside the curled leaves for any Mexican Bean Beetles.  I had the same
thing going on with my bush beans, then a neighbor uncurled one of the leaves,
and there was the culprit!  Yellow with black dots, look a bit like a ladybug.

They can do a lot of damage if you don't catch them in time.
