About Us

At Busy Bees Book Club, we are on a mission to help busy people host engaging book clubs.

We believe in the magic that happens when women gather around a table, share a story, and truly see each other. We are here to help busy bees create space for connection, curiosity, and conversation.

Born out of a love for literature and a longing for meaningful community, Busy Bees brings the book club experience to life with curated boxes that make hosting engaging book club gatherings easy and beautiful. Inside each box, you’ll find thoughtful story-centered items —recipes, conversation starters, tablescape touches—all designed to help you quickly and easily turn an ordinary evening into a memorable, engaging event.

But it’s about more than just a good night in. It’s about engaging with big ideas, listening with compassion, and understanding each other on a deeper level—one book, one gathering at a time.

And because we believe community extends beyond the walls of our homes, we give back 10% of profits to protect bees and their habitats. After all, they’re the world’s original busy workers and vital to the health of our planet.

So pull up a chair, pour a glass, and let’s build something beautiful together.

About the Bees

Bees…they work hard, stay curious, and make the world better in tiny, quiet, everyday ways. They keep things blooming. They communicate, collaborate, and care for their hive without fuss or fanfare. We looked at that and thought, that’s exactly what we’re trying to do here.

Busy women and busy bees have a lot in common. We juggle a thousand things, show up for our people, improve the community consistently through small and deliberate actions and somehow still hold it all (mostly) together together. We keep our own hives humming and that’s the kind of energy we love: connection, community, and grace over perfection. 

10% of all our profits support bees and their habitats.

 

Our Founder

Busy Bees HeadshotI live in Raleigh, North Carolina, where most days you can find me unsuccessfully  multi-tasking with an audiobook on 1.25 speed. My trusty companion, Harold (Aussie + Blue Heeler mix) is usually at my side keeping an eye out for his nemesis, the mailman. 

Busy Bees began because I was craving community and I knew I wasn’t the only one. I wanted a way to help women gather without the pressure to make everything look perfect. Hosting can feel overwhelming. Busy Bees simplifies hosting so the focus stays on the people in the room, not the performance.

The roots of that come from much earlier in my life. I grew up in Texas in a busy home my family still calls the house with expanding walls where there is ALWAYS room for one more. My childhood was full of RISK games at the kitchen table, living room dance halls, and a constant hum of conversation. Community and curiosity were part of everyday life from the start.

I have always loved bringing people together. Over the years I have thrown more themed gatherings than I could ever count, and I helped start our neighborhood’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Block Party with its small but determined parade.

What I care about now is creating spaces where people can show up as they are. Not perfect. Not overly planned. Just present. Busy Bees is my way of making that easier for anyone who wants in. If the work I do helps people feel more connected and a little more at home in their own lives, then that feels enough.
