Our Story
Established by owner and founder, Corrine Daniels in early 2023, Bombus, LLC is a planning, design, and procurement company serving Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin regions.
After over 25 years of working with nationally recognized, ecological restoration companies, Corrine reached a turning point in her career. Torn between a career path focusing on growing and creating products purely for internal use or a path that would lead to the freedom of external pursuits and the creation of innovative plans and products, Corrine chose the latter. With that decision, came the formation of Bombus, LLC. Because of this new path, she now has the ability to better serve her region with high-quality products and deep industry knowledge and connections as a woman-owned business.
