| Ahh, the worker bees! Where would we be without all the people that help get our dreams and ideas accomplished? The following is a partial list of the people who help get the job done right at Queen Bee Sauce. A big thank you goes out to all of them. |
 |
Jackie DuCharme - JackA the suit
She doesn't know it, but we call her the Queen of cuteness. She helps by working at the various craft shows and farmer's markets where we share our sauces with customers. She is the proud mother of two (kittens that is), wife to one, and endless positive energy surrounds her. |

Lucky, product tester
Lucky is the main animal product tester. Of course, it's only after she rolls in dead fish by the Lake. The Pooch line was made for the clever little jack russell. It includes an organic doggie wash and a poochie spritzer to both hide "accidents" and help her smell yummy as she comes to bed. The spritzer even kills skunk scent! She is the newest addition to the staff and we have high hopes for her.

Melissa McDonald, Production Supervisor
Retired school teacher and busy bee, Melissa helped bottle Javanese Face Paste and Butta! Her favorite product is the fancy face unscented blended with a tiny amount of lemongrass and ylang ylang. She was the inspiration for Butta and has an amazing varied landscape, full of flowers in the Pagosa summertime. She prefers to be called The Queen Mom. |

Rhoda West, good friend and very saucey consumer
(showing Coco photo) She loves the sauce. She works on bottling and packaging You're Nuts! cuticle oil, evening primrose, tamanu and helps out overall. She does it in her spare time. Her favorite products include Javanese Face Paste and Glycolic Tonic. |
 |
Tuna, supervisor
Tuna mostly lounges around all day. He watches to make sure that we are having a good time while we brew. He stays out all night prowling the hood and making sure he is on top of what's happening with the youth in Pagosa.

Lucy Alpers, worker bee extraordinaire
She is a teacher, an avid biker and loves all things organic. She had played around with making several of her own "salves" before coming to work with the Queen. |

Mark Caldwell, Zencart Master
The shopping cart site programming is all Mark. He lives in San Diego with a gorgeous wife and two happy dogs. |
 |
Ryan Kennedy, Prep & Production
Attending Portland's Cordon Bleu he continues to help package Boost long distance. Ryan helped move the Queen Bee from small batches to bigger production. His favorite product is Crack Cream. We use that scent to custom blend a body wash for his peppy self. |
 |
Lee Sanchez, Worker Bee
Lee works the various craft fairs and farmer's markets when her schedule allows. She is a big fan of the glycolic. The cuticle oil secret magic ingredient (clove) came from her suggestion. By day she is a dental hygenist and by night a very clever and crafty lady. |
 |
Robin Brobst
Girl works with a crew! When not making haute couture jewerly, she rallies her posse to package and label Raw Shea tubs! Her endless energy and positive influence make her a pleasure to be around. Robin lives in Pagosa with her fabulous husband (Bob), two cats, a bear and a lynx in the yard. |

Jeff Laydon, Photography
Owner of a Pagosa Photography, a studio in Pagosa Springs, Jeff is well known for his scenic imagery of the Rockies. |
