the cheapest way is to use Fairy Liquid and spray it on diluted
I could be wrong on this but it is possible that the ants are looking for Greenfly which they attend to and milk like cows. It is also possible that the greenfly will do more damage to your plants than the ants will.
Just a thought?
Ants will not damage the beans but they are visiting for a reason, most likely to farm either greenfly or more likely blackfly. Check the undersides of your leaves. At this stage you can squash them. I wouldn't use a pesticide on such young plants. Hope this helps.
