                     RECOGNIZING THE BUSY BEE CAFE

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Mary Ann and Mark Petree for their contributions to 
Musselshell County as owners of Roundup's Busy Bee Cafe for almost 50 
years.
  For folks across Musselshell County, the Busy Bee Cafe is iconic. It 
is a place for the community to gather, have a great meal, and enjoy 
the best pie in Montana. The Busy Bee Cafe has grown to be a staple in 
the community, and that comes as a result of their owners, Mary Ann and 
Mark Petree.
  Mary Ann and Mark bought the Busy Bee Cafe 49 years ago. When they 
purchased the Busy Bee Cafe, they saw the restaurant's potential. 
Business quickly grew, and they began expanding the size of the 
restaurant. Business today remains booming, while still holding onto 
the personal touches that drew them to the cafe in the first place.
  With both of their children now grown, Mary Ann and Mark are able to 
dedicate their time to keeping the business running smoothly. They 
pride themselves on the local touch of all their food, with 95 percent 
of it being homemade. Every morning, Mary Ann and Mark start their day 
by serving coffee to the Busy Bee Cafe regulars.
  I congratulate Mary Ann and Mark Petree on their 49 years of 
dedication to the Busy Bee Cafe. As a result of their hard work and 
attention to detail in every aspect of the business, the Busy Bee Cafe 
is a local favorite that brings together the greater Musselshell 
County.
