Beehive Medical Electronics

Beehive Medical Electronics, later known as Beehive International, was a manufacturer of computer display terminals.

History

The company was based in Salt Lake City, Utah and manufactured a variety of CRT display terminals in the 1970s and 1980s.

At its peak, Beehive employed 400 people. In 1980, the company opened a plant in Ireland.

The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in October 1984[1] and emerged from Chapter 11 in 1985.

Beehive outsourced production to Standard Elektrik Lorenz AG in West Germany in July, 1988.[2] The company filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in November 1988 and the assets were auctioned off in January, 1989.[3]

The terminal models included the ATL-008, MiniBee, the SuperBee and the B-100. The B-100 was also provided to original equipment manufacturers for rebranding. The Cromemco 3101 terminal is a rebranded B-100.
