The group was originally called "The Yum Yums" and recorded on the old ABC Paramount label. By 1966, the girls became "Honey and the Bees" and recorded on the Arctic label, a division of Jamie-Guyden based right here in Philadelphia.

In 1970, manager Jimmy Bishop switched the group over to the Josie label where they recorded such hits as "It's Gonna Take a Miracle." Their last song for manager Jimmy Bishop was entitled, "Song for Jim."

In 1976, two of the ladies from the group, Gwen (Oliver) Wesley and Cassandra Ann Wooten joined Cheryl Mason Jacks to become "The Ritchie Family," named after their songwriter and arranger Ritchie Rome.
