yellowing bean leaves

Sorry if this has already been asked a million times, but what is the cause of the lower leaves on beans going yellow?  This is a Lab-Lab and it looked fine until about a week ago.  The top is alright.
All my other varieties of beans are not affected.....touch wood.

I wouldn't worry... fast growing climbers like those often shed the lowest/oldest leaves....  :)

Some epsom salts in your water will help with the yellowing
