Have a look at this thread for tips on saving the seed.

grow your beans as normal

leave few on the plant until late august / sept ,

pick the pods and allow to dry naturally , black and wrinkly keep dried ,

either at home or in cold greenhouse

in the new year remove beans from the pods and place in paper bags .

plant the beans out when all fear of frost has past ,

its works that way for us in darkest east yorkshire lol
