Fructose (or levulose) is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) found in many foods and is one of the three most important blood sugars along with glucose and galactose. Honey, tree fruits, berries, melons, and some root vegetables, such as beets, sweet potatoes, parsnips, and onions, contain fructose, usually in combination with sucrose and glucose.
so i guess there really is no way to tell, i would write or contact the company that makes it. something tells me if it was from a vegan friendly source they would have printed it if that is what they normally do.

It is not a honey by-product nor is it animal derived. It is a simple sugar which means it is not good for you to eat on a regular basis but from a general vegetarian perspective, these beans should be okay to eat.
Suggestion: If you don't mind cooking, perhaps you could make a batch of your own and can or freeze the leftovers. This way, you have a go to meal and you know exactly what the ingredients are.

I have heard glucose-fructose syrup is the same as high fructose corn sryup, a popular additive in the United States to more foods and beverages than one can shake a stick at. yeah, it's technically vegan, but do you really wanna eat that dreck?

No it's made from chicken testicles.
