I don't know how you are concluding this from what I wrote, but if you think beans are capable of producing grease then we know who does all the cooking around your house, lol. When bacon is cooked in the microwave, the fat melts but is not otherwise damaged. It can then be collected and saved for later use. I use the grease for browning onions and garlic, which I then use to make refried beans, but you can also just add the grease to a pot of beans and then skim the grease off once the beans have cooled in the fridge. Search Amazon for "microwave bacon" and you will find a number of trays made just for cooking bacon in the microwave; the grease collects in the bottom and pours easily while hot.
Dogs love bacon grease too, so you can also use it as a treat for them after you skim it off the beans...why waste it, right? Just beware that onion is toxic for dogs, so if you cook your beans with an onion throw the skimmed-off grease away.
