Correct spelling, explanation: for many learners of English the form being sounds strange, but it is just a gerund form that occurs when we add -ing to the verb -be. The original form of the verb bēon comes from Old English and later, through centuries, it evolved into the form we know today.
Definition of being:
1. noun – a person, thing, or state that exists,
I will never understand that boy, what a strange being he is.
2. gerund form – added to a verb -to be,

Incorrect spelling, explanation: it is difficult to say why, but users of English tend to double the letter -e while adding the -ing ending to the verb to be. The form beeing, however, is wrong and rather refers to a common insect than to the verb -be.
