About Our Green Business
Proud to Bee...
Backyard Bees starts with the bees but ends with you.
As a green business, we use sustainable packaging and limit our carbon footprint.
Reduce, reuse, recycle and repurpose. That’s what we do.
We are inspired by nature. Green for the grass and the trees (and really, for everything we do). Blue for the sky. Yellow for the sun, the flowers, and of course, the bees!
about our green website
We do our best to bee as green as we can bee, including choosing a responsible website host that uses renewable energy and reduces cyber impact on the environment.
Backyard Bees. Literally.
Bees. In our backyard.
Backyard Bees was started in Sunnyside Gardens, in Queens New York, by a passionate beekeeper and organic gardener. A lover of all things green, the Queen Bee has a masters degree in nutrition and a background in science. Since becoming the mother of twin boys, this Queen Bee has been super busy – but nothing makes her happier than sharing her passion for all things green and natural.
Our business took off with our when we began a subscription service for the Sunnyside CSA, we are forever grateful for their support! From there we added farmers markets and from there special events. We are still in our backyard, but we are constantly evolving. You are currently reading the 2022 update of our online shop, which has been in existence for over 5 years!
Are we bee-proud? We sure are!
