Directions to Bumble Bee
From Phoenix take I-17 (the Black Canyon Freeway) North to the Bumble Bee cutoff.
Bumble Bee got its post office in 1879. There are still people here, and the interesting sights are either occupied or private property. There was never a gold boom here; Bumble Bee was a stage stop. The community built a fake set of ghost town store fronts to attract tourists but it is now abandoned. Bumble Bee is on the way to Cleator and Crown King.
