Busy-Bee was an American early record label of the 1900s, who issued both cylinders and discs, often (but not always) with content licensed from other labels.[1] Their cylinders could only be played on special Busy-Bee players. A 1906 cylinder catalog shows artists including Gilmore's Band, Billy Murray, Arthur Collins, Bob Roberts, and Ada Jones.[2]
