Queen Bee Mine

The Queen Bee Mine is located in the Black Hills in Yavapai County. Only a short drive from HWY 89 is required to reach the Yeager Mining Claims. The Queen Bee Mine is part of a series of mines inside the Yeager Claim boundary. Other mines inside include the Yeager Mine, Yeager Canyon Mine, and the Grey Copper Shaft. The Yeager Mine main shaft was slightly inclined to about 1300 feet. Unfortunately the Yeager Mine main shafts have been demolished for obvious safety reasons. Only photos remain of the monsterous operation. A few horizontal shafts are still open, including the Queen Bee Mine as you see here. Very interesting mineral formations throughout the mine.
