History

The station was established on February 11, 2000 as Killer Bee under the management of Quest Broadcasting. It went off the air on June 23, 2008.[https://radioonlinenow.com/2008/06/20/killerbee-butuan-is-dead-another-chr-station-closes-shop/ Killerbee Butuan Is Dead – Another CHR Station Closes Shop]

A few months later, it returned on air, this time as Caraga's Hit Radio. Despite under new management, it retained its affiliation with Quest. In 2010, it brought back the Killer Bee branding. In 2014, a year after its sister stations started carrying the Magic branding, it renamed to Bee FM. In 2023, Bee FM Butuan went off the air.
