This year marks our 20th year in business as BlueHive Exhibits. From the start, our brand concept was born through the inspiration of nature. The word Blue representing creativity, imagination, and endless possibilities. The word Hive evoking the industriousness of a creative society. Over the years our company mascot, Buzz, has led the charge for cultivating our unique company culture and dynamic. There's our internal company hype team, the Buzz Squad. You may have been to a show or visited our headquarters and received a Buzz doll. And our tagline for the past 20 years states We Create Buzz. Buzz is in our DNA. This year for our 20th Anniversary we are introducing a partner to Buzz. Being a women-led, and now women-owned, company there isn't a better time than now to bring this strength to the forefront of a mostly female-led industry. It is our great pleasure to introduce to you our newest mascot at the Hive, a representation of the forward progression of our company and industry... Please welcome our newest Hiver...Queen Bee Betty!
