Bee Ho worked for many years as a performer with some of the most famous Wild West shows that ever existed. Bee Ho got his start as a Western performer spinning his rope on the streets of Lawton, Oklahoma. He then joined his first Wild West show in 1904 where he met Will Rogers and forged a friendship with him. Bee Ho and Will both performed at the St. Louis World's Fair as ropers with the Colonel Cummins Indian Congress and Rough Riders of the World.

Bee Ho performed with the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch Wild West along side Buffalo Bill Cody, Bill Pickett, Iron Tail and the many legendary stars who gained fame with the show. He was with the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch Wild West for most of the years it operated between 1907 and 1916. Click here for a link to the 101 Ranch Wild West Show roster that lists his name for 1913. Bee Ho's brother, Weaver, shows up on the list as well.

In 1911 he left the 101 Ranch to perform with California Frank's All-Star Wild West but returned to the 101 Ranch just before the show folded. The Miller Brothers 101 Ranch Wild West show spent part of 1913 touring South America. Bee Ho and Ada were part of that tour. However, they decided to remain in the United States when the 101 Ranch show journeyed to England in 1914. Instead, Bee Ho enjoyed the publicity and star-performer status of the title he had recently won, World Champion Trick and Fancy Roper. He spent the first half of 1914 with the 101 Ranch show's U.S. unit. The second half of the year was spent as a feature act with the Irwin Brothers Cheyenne Frontier Days Wild West Show.

Bee Ho is mentioned twice in a 1977 book called "Bill Pickett, Bull Dogger" (Colonel Bailey C. Hanes, ISBN 0-8061-1391-X, University of Oklahoma Press). Page 127 lists Bee Ho, along with his wife Ida [sic] Sommerville and Weaver and Juanita Gray, as some of the main performers for the 1913 season of the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch Wild West.
