Dear Frank, The wedding ring your wife noticed on Aunt Bee's hand, I, too, have noticed. In fact, I have written about it a couple of times over the many years I have been here, but without response. I thought I was seeing things! Aunt Bee does indeed wear a band on her third finger, left hand just as if she has been married. I say "as if" because we certainly know she is not married right now, and, as far as the show is concerned, a former husband has never even been hinted at either. All we can do is just assume Aunt Bee is Andy's unmarried aunt (sister to his father--hence the same last name), and perhaps the ring she often wears belonged to her mother or someone else dear to her. But keep looking. Trained noticers will surely see a band on her left hand. I have just never read anything about why she would wear one on the show.
