The Bisbee Bees were a Minor League Baseball team that represented Bisbee, Arizona from 1928 to 1941. The Bisbee Bees played as members of the Arizona State League (1928–1930) and Arizona–Texas League (1931–1932, 1937–1941).[1][2]

The Bees were an affiliate of the Chicago Cubs in 1930, the Cincinnati Reds in 1937, the Los Angeles Angels in 1939,[3] and Chicago Cubs from 1939 to 1941.

In 1930 they were "apparent champions" of the Arizona State Baseball League, after the Globe Bears disbanded.[4]
