L’Abeille de la Nouvelle-Orléans
Encyclopedia
The New Orleans Bee was a newspaper in New Orleans, Louisiana
, founded on September 1 1827 by François Delaup and originally located at 94 St. Peter, between Royal and Bourbon.
Initially published three times a week in French, an English section was added on November 24, 1827, and in this form it was the most successful of New Orleans daily newspapers in the middle of the nineteenth century. The English section was abandoned in 1872 because of increased competition from English-language newspapers, but later restored. A Spanish-language section (Abeja) was published in 1829-1830.
Until at least 1897 L'Abeille remained "almost certainly the daily newspaper of choice" for French officials in New Orleans. The title was purchased in 1921 by The Times-Picayune and was published weekly until it closed in 1925.
