There are several
versions to “how Bumble Bee got its name.”
Two versions are around 1860, cavalry troopers named the area.
The third is, bees in the area attacked a prospector. What ever is the real story, the creek became Bumble Bee
Creek.
An early stage
station stop between Prescott and Phoenix was Snyder’s Station on
Bumble Bee Creek. The
locals named it for W.W. Snyder, a local rancher and horse breeder.
The post office was established at the stage stop in 1879.
It had a long history
as a stage stop with a general store and the post office.
It has been long abandoned.
Post office opened
February 3, 1879 as Bumblebee.
