will roundup hurt beans that are starting to blossom

First off, we have to assume you _have_ RU ready beans, right?

I've head several different ways, from no harnm to some bit of harm, but mostly folks say it's worse to let the weeds seed out so go ahead & spray........

Agreed- bottom line is- should have been sprayed on time. But spraying now will at least decrease next year's weed pressure. Optimistic farmer always looks forward to next year.

Use drop nozzles, low, between the rows to minimize flower contact. Block off nozzles above the rows. Plugs are available for that.
