Default best way to preserve seed beans?

A cool dry place is fine. If you are in an area that has bugs that get into
flour stored on the shelf, you may want to put them in a coffee can,
sprinkle some Sevin dust on top of them, the lid on it and seal it with
tape. They will last for years that way.

Can you seed experts advise on the best way to keep some green pole
beans and lima bean seeds for planting in a future year? We have some
heirloom beans, and were not able to plant all of them this year. Would
like to keep them until at least next spring. Suggestion? Just a cool
dry place or in the fridge?
