Established in 1886 by William O. McCurdy, The Beeville Bee represented the city of Beeville and wider Bee County. Beeville's population more than doubled between 1886 and 1900, with the arrival of the railroad, supporting two general stores, two hotels, a gin and gristmill, and a blacksmith shop, in addition to two newspaper titles, The Bee and The Picayune. The Beeville Bee merged with The Beeville Picayune in 1928, to become The Beeville Bee-Picayune, which continues in publication today.
