Wilfreda Beehive is a small coach and bus operator based in Adwick-le-Street, Doncaster.

It was formed in 1949 by Bill and Marie Scholey, and remains in family ownership. At first it operated coach services from a depot at Ranskill, near Bawtry. Between 1993 and 1998 it operated many bus services, but sold out to Mainline Buses just before the latter was absorbed by First Group in 1998. In 2001 they began operating buses again. It now operates a mixed fleet ranging from modern coaches to old double-deckers. Many of its routes are school services or SYPTE contracts, a large number of which have been won from other operators in recent years. However, routes have since restarted which are commercial, such as the 52. In 2006, the company took over Eagre of Gainsborough.
