What does beeting mean?

"Beeting" is not a standard word in modern English dictionaries. At most, it functions informally as a present participle or gerund built on "beet," the common name for the root vegetable Beta vulgaris and its varieties, including beetroot, sugar beet, and chard. Because dictionaries do not recognize "beet" as a verb, any use of "beeting" is best understood as playful, dialectal, or a coinage rather than established usage. Readers encountering it should note its near-homophony with "beating," which can cause confusion in speech and writing. For precise meaning, context is essential: it most plausibly refers to growing, cooking, or otherwise dealing with beets.
