Can I eat beans that have had weeevils in it?
I put two cups of beans to soak overnight. The morning after, I realized there were dead weevils floating in the water.
Should I eat the beans after cleaning them or is it better to just throw them away?

In a word NO
You have no idea if they carried disease or other contaminants in, toss the lot.
Per Alan Munn, Quora, and Iowa State, grain weevils are medically harmless and carry no human diseases.
That said, most people find the thought of eating weevil larvae in their beans disgusting, and beans are pretty cheap to replace. So unless you're on a ship or a camping trip, just throw them out and start over.
If necessary, you can use the 1-hour hydration method for your beans to cook them today.
