BB = Very black and BBB is blacker than very black, so it must be very,very black.
In the case of B's, I understand it indicates the degree of softness of the lead.
Yes, pencils are graded from 9H (the hardest) through to 9B (the softest) with the middle one HB being in common use as the usual preferred writing pencil, HB being Hard Black.
