It sounds to me like your beagle had some bad experiences with adults and more specifically men. Unfortunately there is no easy answer or solution. Only time and consistency will help.

I'm sure many others in the forums will have additional suggestions. For me I would spent time with her on the floor. Get down to her level and engage her in play, petting and general affection. She needs to feel comfortable with you at her level first. Hopefully over time she will be less scared of you when you stand.

Awww... she's adorable. The best part is your problem can be fixed by just giving her lots of love and attention (at her level of course). I wish all training and behavioral issues could be remedied with pets. Good luck and keep us posted.
