The Honeybee village located above Honey Bee Wash near the Rancho Vistoso neighborhood and the Splendido retirement community was occupied between AD 500 and AD 1200.

Its residents built hundreds of houses in pits and a ball court for community gatherings.

A portion of this village is preserved for public use and historical interpretation by Pima County.
