Can I plant a new crop of beans now?

planted bush beans every 2 - 3 weeks and had a bumper crop. Plants are not really producing, and the resident bunny has taken a liking to the leaves. I'm in zone 6B. Too late to plant again?

Depends on your first frost date, and the variety of bean. Our first frost date is Oct 15th, which is a little over 70 days away. The Blue Lake Bush Beans I grow has a maturity date of 50 - 60 days, so there is plenty of time for a planting those here.
