Calendar & scheduling
The school run and a client call land in the same slot. Nobody has noticed yet, and by the time someone does, it is hard to fix without a scramble. Beemy checks both calendars together and flags a real clash the moment it appears.

When two lives book the same slot
A work meeting and a personal event get booked into the same window. Whoever booked one could not see the other. The clash stays hidden until someone checks both.

What Beemy tells you
Beemy checked both calendars together. The client call and the school run fall in the same half hour, which is a real clash and not a near miss. It flags the clash to you with time left to move one of them.
You decide which one moves. Beemy only flags that they clash.
How Beemy handles it
Beemy checks your work and personal calendars against each other. It does not check each one on its own.
Back-to-back meetings with a gap are not a problem. Beemy treats only a true overlap as one.
Beemy escalates a real clash the moment it spots one. You keep enough time to move something.

The hard part: seeing both calendars at once
Most calendar tools see one calendar at a time. A work meeting and a personal appointment can each look fine on their own and still land in the same hour. Beemy watches both together and keeps each in its own silo. It catches the whole clash, not the half that one calendar can see.
Questions
No, Beemy always escalates a real clash to you. It never resolves one on its own.
No, the two calendars stay in separate silos while Beemy checks them against each other for an overlap.
