It is not known when Bee Branch School began, but records indicate that pupils from the Camp Colorado area attended school here for a time, during a lapse of education at the Camp, before 1900. Bee Branch got its name from the bees in the area. It was a school in the district with Madge, District #10, until 1914, when it was cut off from #10 and Bee Branch, District #69 was created. Miss Bettie McCulloch
was the teacher there in 1901 at the first school. A later school
was built in 1915. This was a two-room school located north of the
Eureka Church. By 1924, Grades 1 through 10 were taught. It
was later consolidated with Buffalo
School.
