The headwaters of the stream are in northwest Douglas County just to the west of Missouri Route K and about one-half mile south of the Douglas - Webster County line. The stream flows south to south-southwest parallel to County Road 14-531. It flows under Missouri Route 14 to its confluence with Beaver Creek five miles northwest of Ava.[3][1][4]
The stream was named for the abundant honey bearing bee trees along its banks.[5]
