Since no one has mentioned it, I'll just throw this out.

Could your problem be a reed that is too hard and/or unbalanced at the point where the mouthpiece facing starts?

An embouchure that has to bite to compensate for either of these problems can produce a buzz in the sound that is especially prominent on the B.

Of course, since we can't hear the buzz, it could still be caused by the instrument as others have mentioned. The only problem that I would think you could eliminate would be a pad skin buzzing, since the pads are leather.
