Bee is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Johnston County, Oklahoma, United States. The population was 135 as of the 2020 Census.[3]

Bee is generally situated southeast of Tishomingo and northwest of Durant, located southwest of State Highway 22 and west of State Highway 78, while bordered on its west by the far northern end of Lake Texoma.[4] The Fort Washita Historic Site is just to the southeast.[4]

The community was intended to be named after Dee Taylor, the daughter of two early settlers; however, the U.S. Post Office Department changed the name to "Bee". Its post office operated from April 5, 1889, until June 15, 1918.[5]
