Answers from our documentation

Support or adoption is purchase or support under the selected offer. It does not transfer hive ownership.

No. Support does not transfer legal ownership of the physical hive unless a separate agreement says otherwise.

A Hive Note is a verified public update about a hive, campaign, or community. A publisher reviews notes before publication.

We operate Save The Bees as a for-profit company. Payments are not charitable donations and are not tax deductible unless we identify a separate eligible partner.

Campaign support does not automatically include honey or pollen. A product benefit only applies when the purchased offer includes it and creates an explicit fulfillment entitlement. Program honey ships from one central warehouse when an offer includes it.

Payments are not open on this site yet. Calls to action here collect interest only and state that we collect no payment.

A funding campaign must explain the failed-goal policy before it accepts payments. Refund and campaign-failure rules must appear before checkout and in policies.

Managed honey bees and native habitat work are separate. Honey-bee economic activity helps fund habitat, plants, nesting resources, monitoring, and education for wild bees. We do not present a managed hive alone as native-bee conservation.

The general area may be public. The exact hive location may stay private.

You can volunteer now. The Volunteer page shows how your time helps and leads to the form. Volunteering is free and never requires payment. You can send a Start a Hive request. The Start a Hive page opens the form. Start a Hive creates a community campaign for a professionally managed hive and does not make you the beekeeper without review, host arrangement, and qualified care.

Documented species counts are evidence-based minimums, not population estimates. Low counts may mean data gaps, not few bees. Species totals are not a measure of conservation impact.
