One of the hardest parts of closing our doors is saying goodbye to our amazing staff of dedicated and talented Bees. In addition to their awesome customer service and creativity, they all have great qualities that would bee an asset to any company lucky enough to work with them. Below is a little bit about each Bee. Please feel free to contact us at info(at) theredbee.com for further info.

As a five year veteran of the Bee, he is much loved by our Friday night regulars. He also has experience working the Bee booth at the local Expo scrapbook shows. Needless to say, he is extremely reliable and trustworthy and would be an asset to any business. Contact him at 714-380-2691.Simeon

Robin is a busy mom of two. She does not use her royal title but prefers to go incognito as more of a commoner. But seriously, Robin is a former fashion designer/developer and expert seamstress. She routinely does sewing work (bags, clothing, etc.) and can quote you on your project. Contact her at reperk@pacbell.net .
Lauren
Lauren is an incredible singer and we have been telling her to audition for American Idol for a while now! Our Saturday layouts, Sunday cards, birthday party projects, and crop projects happen because of Lauren's talents. She also is our instructor for Bead & Breakfast.
