Q. How do you spell Aunt Bee's name?

A. The correct spelling is B-E-E. The spelling can be seen on a couple 
of episodes, color ones. When she had the Chinese Restaurant ("Aunt 
Bee's Restaurant" episode #209) and when she ran for council ("Politics 
Begin at Home" episode #200). The spelling can also be seen on the 
closing credits of almost every episode of TAGS.

Sure, Bee is short for Beatrice but she still spelled her name B-E-E. I 
guess if you can get Bill from the name William or Jim from James, you 
can get Bee from Beatrice. Bee is list as a short form of Beatrice in 
"The Name Book" which list names for expecting parents.
