Yes, there were Bings in MN.Christian L. Bing (b. around 1860 in Norway) married Maren Simonson and they had at least two children, Clara and Edward, in the Canby area.Edward died in Canby in 1978.
In the 1880 census, Christian L. is listed with his uncle, Christian, in Yellow Medicine County, MN (near Canby).

My interest in the Bing family comes through the Simonson connection, so I've not spent a great deal of time researching the family.
Here's what I found at Family Search.org on Anton Bing in MN:
