While bacon is cooking in a small bowl mix together the molasses, maple syrup, soy sauce and 1 ¾ cup of water until well combined.
When bacon mixture is done pour in ½ cup of the molasses mixture and scrap the bottom of the slow cooker to scrap any drippings off the bottom. Add the beans, ¼ teaspoon salt, bay leaves, and mix in the rest of the molasses mixture making sure all the beans are covered.
