Disclose Notes: The Who's Who indicates that Toni Blum wrote this feature in 1941-42.

Artist verification for Williams by the Who's Who. The strip was signed B. H. Apiary, which is a by-line on the strip and not a real person.

In the last few adventures of the Red Bee, a brunette girl, similar to Valerie, but never named as such. She ostensibly became "Nancy", mentioned in the splash in issue #20, but never seen in the story.
