Hi everyone! Could us some help. This is only my second year with a veggie garden. All my veggies are coming up, but the leaves on my yellow beans already seem to be eaten by bugs. The only insect I am seeing in my garden are ants. Could they be doing this? And what to do.
Thanks!

Not likely to be ants. What does the damage look like? Have you looked underneath the leaves?

No I haven't looked underneath the leaves. What am i looking for exactly? The leaves have holes, the plant looks dead, the top of the plant looks like it's turning brown.
thanks for your help!

A lot of insect pests do their worst from the underside of the leaves. Also they lay their eggs underneath.
