Meet The Team

Dr. Gerdts is the principle researcher, queen bee breeder, primary beekeeper, web designer, and janitor at Bee Scientifics.  Jody is a fourth generation beekeeper and total science nerd bringing a wealth of practical beekeeping and scientific experience to the team.  Jody has a love-hate relationship with propolis and loves the smell of crispy eucalyptus leaves burning in a smoker.

Ms. Martin helps ensure our honey is delicious and she hasn't found a batch that wasn't approved.  In addition to her honey sampling responsibilities, Peita is in charge of honey sales keeping our farm gate shop stocked.  Peita occasionally assists with bee breeding by catching drones and most important is a powerful advocate for bees and pollinators amongst her age group.
