We had this discussion some weeks ago, and it emerged that there were some differences between British and American idioms to do with 'beans'.
If you have found this expression in a British source, it will probably have the meaning that Paul has given ie full of energy. I think this comes from the idea that beans are a filling and nourishing food, so you will be full of energy if you have eaten a meal of beans.
In the US, there are various expressions such as 'It ain't worth a hill of beans' which are used to describe something valueless and pointless. This is the source of Bruce's suggestion about foolish ideas.
