Hi – I’m Erika, the head writer and expert beekeeper here at Just Beekeeping! I work with a team of beekeeping experts to keep Just Beekeeping buzzing along!
I am a backyard beekeeper and proud member of the American Beekeeping Federation (ABF) and the Central Indiana Beekeepers Association.
My interest in bees and beekeeping began as a child in Indiana, where I spent countless hours in the woods with my father, exploring the native bee populations! For the past thirty years, I have been a backyard beekeeping enthusiast as well as a connoisseur of all types of honey!
In addition, I am an educator with advanced degrees from UC-Berkeley and the University of Southern California (USC).
I use my expertise to help others learn about beekeeping, and I am an advocate for all subjects bee related!
My passion is bee conservation, and I’m passionate about restoring native bee populations. The bees need our help now more than ever!
