Sickly beans

My gardening buddy has a sickly bean plant.
The nearby tomatoes are going gangbusters
Any ideas on what's wrong?

Could be the tomatoes are outcompeting them for light or the soil is too rich for beans. Beans fix their own nitrogen so they actually prefer leaner soil, and if you've been feeding the tomatoes heavily the beans might not love it. What do the leaves look like, yellowing or spotty or just wilting?

Looks to me like it might be a virus. Found this about bean mosaic virus. Some of the leaves in your picture resemble the ones on the website, especially the puckering of the leaves.

Otherwise, it's possible that it's a nutrient deficiency of some sort, maybe of something that the tomatoes don't need as much of as the beans. Not sure what nutrients fit that bill, other than maybe molybdenum (since legumes use Mo in their nitrogen fixation enzymes) but Mo deficiency doesn't really look like that in the pictures I can find.

A disease was my first thought also. I grew beans intertwined with tomatoes last year and they were both happy about the partnership.
