"The future of bees is the future of our food system and the health of our planet." - Laurence Packer

Erika Thompson is a beekeeping powerhouse from Austin, Texas. A lover of insects, Erika left her office job in 2011 to enroll in a beekeeping course. She established her first beehive company, Texas Beeworks, to preserve, protect, and increase bee populations.
In the last 50 years, agricultural production has risen by around 30%, largely thanks to pollinating insects like bees. Bees are ecosystem regulators and play a crucial role in nature. 87.5% of the world's wild flowering plants (about 308,000 species) rely on animal pollination for reproduction. (IPBES, 2017).
Bees are key players in our food system, as 70% of the 115 globally significant agricultural crops depend on animal pollination (Klein et al., 2007).
