Bee Aviation Honey Bee

Known originally as Beecraft Associates Inc., this company built the diminutive Wee Bee in 1949, in which the pilot lay in a prone position.

It was followed by the larger V-tailed Honey Bee, which first flew on 12 July 1952.

Beecraft Associates also built a four place airplane called the "Queen Bee". Only one was built and it was destroyed in a fire at the San Diego Aerospace Museum.

This aircraft is currently at the San Diego Air & Space Museum (Gillespie Field Annex) awaiting restoration. Look on Wikipedia soon for a photograph.
