Its probably been mentioned before, but from http://www.nndb.com/sports/931/000085676/

“Boston Bees. SPORTS FRANCHISE. The Boston Braves were dubbed the Bees from 1936 to 1940, before resuming their more familiar Braves nickname.”

Braves being a racest, politically incorrect term for Native Americans.
