CyberBee has been providing rich Internet resources to educators for over 20 years. The Internet and way we obtain information has changed dramatically during that time.

Expressions such as these live in our popular culture, but have their beginnings in someone's imagination. CyberBee is a perfect example.
If you go back in time to the mid-1950s on a small farm in rural Ohio, you will see a large beehive in the far corner of an orchard behind a white brick farmhouse. You will also observe a little girl hiking through the fields and along the creek looking for treasures. She was so active, her father dubbed her "Busy Bee," and that is how her name appeared on the family letterhead. Fastforward to the 1990s and observe this same person, needing a cartoon character to guide teachers on Internet adventures. During one restless night, the idea exploded from her mind - CyberBee, a busy little bumblebee zooming around the Internet scouting out curriculum treasures.
