I don't know the particulars, but I understand that one should wait until beans are dry before harvest.  I think you will shorten the life of the beans if you pick them wet, but I don't know exactly why.

We've finally got our rain after many weeks of hot dry weather. It's raining today and the green beans need harvesting for our CSA. Are there any precautions we should take or should we wait altogether till it's dry again?

Thanks,
Randy
