Seedcorn maggot.
They eat the cotyledons out from between the bean halves before they get a chance to emerge, giving you that bald head look. Sometimes you can see that they have been tunnelling in the stem as well. Did this field have manure in the recent past by any chance? We found that seems to promote it here.
