About Us

Hailing from Houston, Texas, Michelle attended LSU and graduated in 2003 with a degree in mass communication. As all Cajun love stories go, she met and fell in love with a boy and decided to stay in the boot.

From selling designer clothes at Dillard’s to managing The Royal Standard, she has more than 20 years of retail experience in the capital city. In 2012, Michelle took over the reigns at The Queen Bee. Since then, she has transformed it into a space that exudes style, class and fun — filled with posh pieces that Michelle thoughtfully curates for her customers to enjoy.

If you look closely, you’ll notice a slew of Queen Bee items in the best of Baton Rouge’s homes.

Every day, Michelle strives to share her home at the hive with you. We’re looking forward to welcoming you into our makeshift family — whether it’s through our Instagram stories or chatting with you at the register.
