Erika Thompson is a beekeeper, bee advocate, and founder of the bee removal services company Texas Beeworks. Erika grew up in Texas loving all things animals and bugs. She studied geography at the University of Texas at Austin, and after a brief stint as a vet tech, embarked on a career in communications.

In high school, she struggled to connect academically and enrolled in community college with little hope that any field could interest her.

She ultimately spent seven years there, working on small spacecraft and flight trajectory dynamics.
