There may be a few things in addition to what has been stated to consider:

First is that a Beagle is a hunting breed and the dog may be going after gophers.  The most obvious sign of this would be multiple dig sites around gopher mounds or mole tunnels.

Second, she could be bored when you are not around and is just looking for a way to pass time until she can be with the family.  Do you have another dog for her to play with?

Third, it could be separation anxiety, which can be a strong emotional problem in some dogs.  Maybe she found that when she digs in the yard you come out to see what she has done and you give her attention positive or negative.  Dogs are surprisingly similar in psychological behaviors to people.

Or I an over analyzing this whole thing.  If you do use a standard electric fence be sure to buy a small shock unit designed for dogs, not cattle or horses.
