Meet the Beek

Nikki

Nikki started beekeeping 6 years ago and it is her passion.
She started Backyard Buzz in 2019 with her mom to educate about the importance of bees and other pollinators.
After Backyard Buzz was established, the small, family owned BEESness expanded to selling not just raw honey but candy, original artwork, apparel, photography and beauty products made with raw honey and beeswax.
She is in the process of becoming a Master beekeeper to become a better resource for other beekeepers and the public.
Besides beekeeping, Nikki is also an emergency room nurse, a mother, master scuba diver and free diver.
Beekeeping has opened up many opportunities for her and she wants to share her knowledge with you!

Project Manager and Co-owner

Karen

Karen is the Co-owner of Backyard Buzz and is always researching and developing new ways to improve the small BEESness. None of this would be possible without her help and ideas. Both Nikki and Karen strive to make sure anything produced by Backyard Buzz is above and beyond!
Karen is also a registered nurse, and on her down time, she is relaxing poolside, and hanging out with her kids and grandkids.

We are a licensed food establishment by PA Department of Agriculture and part of the PA Preferred program! Support Pennsylvania Farmers!

Visit us and shop here or on Etsy! We sell products made with beeswax and raw straight from our hives! The bees work incredibly hard to keep their colony healthy, so we only take excess beeswax and honey. Our bees are important to me, so we treat them with the upmost respect they deserve. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for fun and interesting facts about bees. Thank you and we appreciate you supporting our page!
