Pollinators don’t just feed flowers, they help feed America
Bees support our food supply, ecosystems, and communities. Save The Bees USA protects pollinators through education, habitat restoration, and hands-on conservation programs across America.
Your support powers real change for pollinators and people. Together, we protect bees, restore vital habitats, educate communities, and build a healthier, more resilient food future.
We educate students, families, and communities about the vital role pollinators play in our ecosystems and food supply.
Knowledge today creates conservation champions for tomorrow.
We restore and protect pollinator habitats by planting native flowers, improving green spaces, and removing harmful barriers.
Healthy habitats help bees thrive today and for generations to come.
We support responsible beekeepers with education, resources, community programs, and opportunities to share the importance of bees.
Beekeepers protect healthy colonies across America.
We bring people together to take action by planting gardens, advocating for pollinators, and creating bee-friendly spaces.
Together, every small action makes a big difference for bees and pollinators.
Save The Bees USA brings pollinator education directly into schools and communities, giving students the opportunity to learn about honey bees, native bees, pollination, and the habitats bees need to thrive.
🐝 Observation Hives in Schools
Students experience a living honey bee colony up close through hands-on STEM education.
🌼 Pollinator Gardens
We help schools create habitat where students can watch conservation happen right outside their classroom.
🌎 Learning Beyond Honey Bees
Students discover the diversity of America's bees, including bumble bees and solitary native bees, and why protecting all pollinators matters.
Bees and other pollinators help sustain the plants, food systems, and ecosystems we depend on every day. Across the United States, pollinators are under pressure from habitat loss, pesticide exposure, climate change, and declining forage.
Save The Bees USA works with schools, beekeepers, gardeners, businesses, and local communities to protect pollinators, restore healthy habitats, and inspire hands-on conservation.
Save The Bees USA is a grant-funded 501(c)(3) nonprofit supported by foundations, corporate partners, and people like you.

Save The Bees USA delivers hands-on education and conservation programs that help students and communities understand the importance of pollinators. Each program is designed to turn learning into action by protecting bees, restoring habitats, and inspiring long-term stewardship.
The Observation Hive in Schools Program brings a living honey bee colony into the classroom through a secure observation hive and guided, hands-on STEM education.
Students can safely observe colony behavior, pollination, and the relationship between bees, agriculture, and healthy ecosystems. The experience replaces fear with understanding and inspires long-term pollinator stewardship.
The Adopt a Hive Program connects individuals, schools, and organizations with beekeepers across the country. Sponsorships help provide hive equipment, educational resources, and support for responsible beekeeping.
By adopting a hive, you help strengthen honey bee colonies, expand pollinator education, and support the people caring for bees in their communities.
Help beekeepers protect healthy hives across America.
The Bumblebee Restoration Program protects native bumble bees by improving nesting habitat, supporting community education, and encouraging species-specific conservation.
These efforts create safer places for bumble bee colonies and help more people understand their essential role in healthy ecosystems and food production.
Support practical conservation that helps bumble bees thrive.
“The decline in populations and ranges of several species of bumblebees may be explained by issues of overheating of the nests and the brood,” the study’s lead author, ecologist Peter Kevan, a Professor Emeritus of Environmental Sciences at the University of Guelph, Learn more about the study’s findings in this statement.
Save The Bees USA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to pollinator conservation through education and advocacy. We focus on teaching schools and communities about the vital role bees play in our ecosystem. 🌿✨
Save The Bees USA is on a mission to protect bees and educate the next generation! 🌍✨ Bees are essential to our environment and food supply, and we work to restore habitats, raise awareness, and promote conservation.
🎓 EDUCATION
Bringing pollinator education into schools and communities through observation hives, hands-on STEM learning, and beekeeper outreach.
🐝 RESPONSIBLE BEEKEEPING
Supporting healthy honey bee colonies through responsible management, beekeeper education, equipment testing, and hive programs.
🌼 HABITAT RESTORATION
Creating pollinator gardens and restoring the flowers, nesting areas, and natural habitat bees need to survive.
🌎 NATIVE BEE CONSERVATION
Protecting bumble bees and solitary native bees through habitat programs, education, research, and species-specific conservation.
🚨 Bees are in danger! Their decline threatens ecosystems and food security. By planting flowers, supporting hives, and restoring habitats, you help protect pollinators and ensure a thriving planet.
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperature, weather patterns, and environmental conditions. These changes can influence how plants grow, when flowers bloom, and how pollinators like bees find food and nesting areas. Understanding how climate change affects bees helps communities make informed, practical decisions that support pollinators, agriculture, and healthy ecosystems.
Rising temperatures are shifting seasonal timing, causing flowers to bloom earlier and disrupting the natural life cycles of bees and other pollinators.
These climate-driven timing changes reduce food availability for bees and weaken pollination, biodiversity, and food systems.
Extreme weather events such as heat waves, droughts, floods, and severe storms damage pollinator habitats and disrupt bee nesting, foraging, and survival.
As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of these events, bees face greater stress, habitat loss, and reduced pollination capacity.
Modern land practices, pesticide use, and habitat fragmentation increase environmental stress on bees and other pollinators.
These stressors reduce forage diversity, weaken pollinator health, and limit the ability of ecosystems to adapt to climate change.
Save The Bees USA focuses on education-based solutions that help students and communities understand how climate change and environmental conditions affect pollinators. Through classroom programs, habitat awareness, and hands-on learning, we promote practical steps that support bees, agriculture, and long-term ecosystem health.
By teaching how environmental changes impact pollinators, we empower people to make informed choices that help protect bees today and into the future.
This is where we work hard to help save bees. We want to teach people about bees, protect them, and speak up for them.
See what we’re doing to help bees and how you can join in. Together, we can protect pollinators and raise awareness.
Learn more about bees, understand the challenges they face, and discover meaningful ways to help protect them. Your help matters!
Bees rely on flowers for both food and survival:
Planting bee-friendly flowers like lavender, daisies, black-eyed susans, sunflowers, and wildflowers helps bees collect what they need while supporting pollination and ecosystem health.
Bees play a crucial role in sustaining ecosystems and ensuring U.S. food security. At Save The Bees USA, we are dedicated to protecting pollinators through education, advocacy, and hands-on conservation efforts to secure their survival.
