Founded in 1949 in what became the Metro Junior B Hockey League (in 1956). The Staffords disappeared but were replaced when the East York Rockets moved to Mississauga in 1953. The Beehives won Metro Junior B titles in 1970 and 1971. They joined the new Ontario Provincial Junior "A" league in 1972 and stayed until the league began to fall apart in 1986, although the Beehives folded a year before the league did due to their rink being sold and closed down. The Beehives were three time Sutherland Cup All-Ontario Junior "B" Champions: 1957, 1970, and 1971.
Their first Sutherland Cup came in 1957 when St. Michael's Buzzers refused to take part in provincial playdowns due to exams. Dixie defeated the Peterborough Stoneys of the Eastern Junior B Hockey League and the Sarnia Legionnaires of the Western Junior B Hockey League to win the Sutherland Cup 4-games-to-2. In 1967, the Beehives made it back to the Sutherland Cup but were thwarted 4-games-to-2 by the Kitchener Greenshirts. In 1970 and 1971 as Metro Champs, they came back again defeating the Hamilton Mountain Bees both years 4-games-to-1 with one tie and 4-games-to-1 respectively.
In 2007, it was announced that the Oswego Admirals of the Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League had been bought by interests in Weston. The team moved to the Weston Arena and took the name Toronto Dixie Beehives. They were scheduled to begin play in September 2007.
