== How do you spell Aunt Bee's name? ==
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 listed as a short form of
Beatrice in "The Name Book" which list names for expecting parents.
