Having a bit of a tough time learning the Advanced Query Language. I'm
trying to find folders that BEGIN with something. I figured out that I
should use kind:folders, but can only find information on how to query
if the folder name contains something, not begins with.

Let's say that I wanted to find all folders with a name that begins
with the letter B. What would be the correct query string for this?

Thanks.

This works fine for me:

"name:B AND kind:folders"
