Bees Help Our World Grow.

  • crops that bees pollinate in the US[1]

  • 75%

    of leading food crop types benefit from pollinators[2]

Each crate stands for $1 billion of the fruits, nuts, and vegetables that honey bees pollinate each year.

Animals such as bees pollinate 7 of these 8 plants.

Bees are under pressure.

Habitat loss

Bees lose the land where they feed and nest, and the land that remains breaks into small pieces.

Intensive farming

Farms grow one crop across large fields in place of mixed plants.

Pesticides

Pesticide use grows as farmland grows.

Pests and diseases

Pests and diseases weaken bees in hives and in the wild.

Climate change

Heat extremes and shifts in flowering time break the link between flowers and bees.

Using honey beehives to save all bee species and more.

Look inside a beehive

From finding a city to following a hive

  1. Find your city

    Search for your city. A city page can exist before a hive does, and it shows what is happening nearby.

  2. Read the offer

    Before a campaign accepts support, it explains its purpose, its terms, and what happens if it misses its goal.

  3. Support a campaign

    Support is not hive ownership. Payments are not open yet, so today you can register interest by email. We collect no payment.

  4. Follow the hive

    Hive Notes are public updates from the people caring for a hive. We verify and review them before we publish them.
