In the books

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, House Beesbury is an ancient house, dating from the time of the First Men, though their power has diminished over the centuries. They are vassals of House Hightower. The Beesburys claim descent from Ellyn Ever-Sweet, one of the many daughters of Garth Greenhand, a legendary figure from the Age of Heroes. Ever-Sweet was said to love honey so much that became the first beekeeper after making a pact with the King of Bees to care for his children. The house's motto is "Beware our Sting".

The Beesburys declare for King Renly Baratheon at the onset of the War of the Five Kings, but after his death go over to House Lannister along with most of the lords of the Reach.

The Beesburys play a very minor role in the novels. The only member of the house that appears is Ser Bertram Beesbury: he meets Jaime and Brienne at Brindlewood, on their way from Harrenhal to King's Landing, and tells them about the Red Wedding, much to Brienne's sorrow.

The heraldry of House Beesbury in the novels is three yellow beehives in a vertical line on black, flanked by alternating yellow and black vertical stripes. The Histories & Lore apparently simplified this to just one yellow beehive, on solid black, though behind-the-scenes footage from House of the Dragon shows the three beehive version.
