May 11, 2005	LIVE AND IT AIN'T NO JIVE II is online and FREE for download! This show kicks ass! It's probably one of the better examples of King Bee's live show. It was recorded on Feb. 24, 2004 at the Culture Room in Fort Lauderdale. We were the opening act for Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise. Enjoy!
February 24, 2005	First Mosh Pit ever at a King Bee Show! The gallery for the Flavour shows it all; hippies wearing Jerry Garcia shirts, moshing to King Bee music. What a beautiful sight. We'd like to thank everyone who came out and shared the great time with us. We'll see you again at the next one.
February 12, 2005	KingBeeHive.com ver.3 is online! Finally! Why do I feel like I'm repeating myself? After much talk and anticipation, there's finally a new website. Not that we've actually been working on it for the last 7 months, it's just that we finally got off our lazy asses and did something about it. The new website contains many new features; including a streaming radio (requires QuickTime), video downloads and new music downloads. It's a completely new site! We hope you enjoy.
September 13, 2004	Message Board back up The message board is currently up and running. Our previous message board provider had discontinued their service. So, now we got a new one. This one is pretty. Happy posting!
July 26, 2004	No Mofro Bus Ride for July 30th show. We've been getting various e-mails asking about the Mofro Bus Ride for the July 30th show. Unfortunately, we had to cancel it. It all kinda sucks in a showbiz-shit sort of way. We were originally scheduled to be the only opener for Mofro, but we later found out through their website that they were bringing in another opener. So, we're still playing the show, but much earlier than we originally anticipated and therefore not making it feasible to get everyone up to Fort Lauderdale in time for the show. We know; it sucks! We are, however, planning another bus ride to a different location for a later date. So stay posted!
March 12, 2004	New Songs! King Bee unveiled 2 new songs at last night's show. There are many more in the works that we'll be releasing in the coming shows. Demo versions of the new songs will be available for download soon.

November 14, 2003	King Bee welcomes new drummer! Due to immigration problems, Ian Gendur had to return to his native homeland Canada. We will miss him dearly and wish him the best. "What's up Dudes!" We are proud to introduce Sam Levine who will now be pounding the skins. Sam is an amazing drummer with a plethora of styles under his belt. He will definitely help King Bee conquer new musical territory.

March 7, 2003	Jaime Update We finally got to see Jaime today. He's doing good. He looks pretty banged up, but all of the test results came back negative. (meaning everything is OK) He's in good spirits and will definitely be back on the bass grooves soon. For now we've cancelled a couple of shows in March to give him some time to recover. But never fear, he's eager to get back on stage and rock on. We'll keep you posted on his progress. If you'd like to send him a message, leave it in the message board.
March 6, 2003	Jaime vs. the Lincoln Navigator Tonight, while cruising down Brickell Ave on his brand new Harley Davidson motorcycle on his way to the show at Tobacco Road, Jaime was hit by a Miami driver and hospitalized. Don't worry, he'll live. He suffered a few bumps and bruises, a broken toe, and a slight cut on his forehead. He's a lucky guy. The bike is a wreck, but our boy will be just fine.
March 5, 2003	Live Track added! Back in December 13th of 2002 King Bee played the Wallflower Gallery. It's a cozy little loungy venue not suited for loud music. So King Bee took everything down a notch and played unplugged versions of some of their songs. We're really happy with the results. We'll be adding more tracks from this night in the coming weeks. For now, enjoy Juniper Rose.
February 27, 2003	Mix-down continues. King Bee gigs on! King Bee is still hard at work mixing down the album, but the gigging continues. We've added a slew of shows to the calendar fo' thad ass, and more are still to come. We hope to see ya'll out there.
