Who is the Bee Girl?
Your Beekeeping Guru
Christi Baughman began beekeeping over 18 years ago. Like many novice beekeepers, she started with just a few hives in her backyard. It wasn't long, however, before Christi recognized her knack for raising healthy bees and began to grow her hives and expand her business into beegirl.biz. Having grown up in North Dakota and currently living in Texas, Christi realized she had access to two prime beekeeping locations in the US.
North Dakota has the highest honey production in the entire country due to its thousands of acres of blooming crops throughout the Summer, while East Texas is home to many Winter bees thanks to its temperate climate and abundance of Spring pollen. These two locations led beegirl.biz to become a full-time operation.
Under Christi’s watchful eye and elbows-deep leadership style, beegirl.biz not only raises bees and nucs, but also produces on average 160,000 pounds of North Dakota honey from about 1,600 bee colonies, pollinates almonds in California annually, and educates beekeepers of any experience.
Christi is an active Board Member of the Trinity Valley Beekeepers Association of Dallas, a North Texas Master Naturalist, a member of North Dakota Beekeepers Association, and a member of Texas Beekeepers Association.
