Save Pollinators, Secure Our Future

Bees are critical to the health of ecosystems and U.S. food security. At Save The Bees USA, we’re committed to ensuring their survival through education, advocacy, and direct conservation efforts.

Protecting Pollinators for U.S. Food Security

Protect Bees

Bees are responsible for pollinating over 75% of the crops we consume, making their survival vital to our agriculture and economy. The Adopt A Hive program allows individuals, businesses, and communities to directly support bee populations, ensuring food security and pollinator health. Your support through adoption helps maintain healthy colonies and keeps our food systems strong.

Raising Public Awareness Through Education and Advocacy

Public Awareness

Education is the foundation of long-term change. At Save The Bees USA, we offer programs that teach children, families, and communities about the role of bees in pollination, biodiversity, and food production. Through the Adopt A Queen program, you can support both bee conservation and education by symbolically adopting a queen bee. Your involvement helps fund research and awareness initiatives that protect pollinators and the ecosystems they support.

Creating Bee-Friendly Habitats Across America

One of the most impactful ways to help bees is by creating environments where they can thrive. Save The Bees USA spearheads nationwide initiatives to establish pollinator-friendly spaces by encouraging the planting of native wildflowers and the creation of urban bee habitats. Whether through backyard gardens or large-scale community projects, these efforts provide vital food sources for bees. Participation in our programs, including Adopt A Hive, ensures that bees have the environments they need to flourish across the country.

Our Programs

We are the TOP Advocate for SAVE THE BEES

Observation Bee Hive's in Schools

Act Now to Bring Observation Bee Hives to Our Schools - Empower the Next Generation of Environmental Stewards Before It's Too Late!

Observation Bee Hive Project

The Observation Bee Hive Project gives students a fun, hands-on way to learn about bees and their role in pollination and protecting the environment. Designed for schools, it lets students watch bees up close, seeing their behavior and learning why it's important to save them. This helps students appreciate bees and understand the need to care for our ecosystems.

Adopt A Hive

Sponsoring One Hive Saves 30,000 Bees

Adopt A Beehive

The Adopt a Hive program gives individuals, organizations, and businesses a way to help with bee conservation by sponsoring or "adopting" a beehive. By joining this program, you directly help protect honeybees and native bees. Your support keeps pollinator populations strong, which is important for our environment. This program also helps create a safer, more bee-friendly world by getting more people involved in protecting these vital insects.

Adopt A Queen

Adopt a Queen, Sustain the Buzz

The Adopt A Queen program teaches people about bees and raises money to protect them. Individuals, groups, and communities can symbolically adopt a queen bee, helping to keep bee populations healthy and safe. Supporting this program is important because bees are key pollinators that help plants grow and support biodiversity in our environment.

Bumblebee Restoration Program

Introducing Save The Bees' Three-Part Initiative aimed at safeguarding and revitalizing bumblebee populations

The Save The Bees Program at Save The Bees USA is very important for protecting bumblebees and making sure they survive. Our Bumblebee Restoration Program helps by creating healthy places for bumblebees to live and grow. This program is divided into three key parts. Each part is designed to keep bumblebees safe and to support a healthy environment and biodiversity.

Join the Save the Bees Movement

The objectives of the Save the Bees Movement focus on protecting bees and improving the health of all kinds of bees, like honey bees and solitary bees. Our goals are to solve the challenges bees face, such as losing their habitats, pesticide exposure, and climate change. We also promote practices that help keep ecosystems healthy and make sure bees have safe environments. These are the key goals of our organization to help pollinators thrive and preserve biodiversity.

Explain what Save The Bees is about

Essential PollinatorsSave The Bees emphasizes that bees pollinate over 70% of the crops that feed the world, making them crucial to global food security.

Declining NumbersSave The Bees highlights the drastic decline in bee populations, with some species nearing extinction due to pesticides, habitat loss, and climate change.

Environmental GuardiansSave The Bees is crucial because bees support biodiversity by pollinating plants that sustain wildlife and ecosystems. Without bees, many ecosystems would struggle to survive.

Educational CampaignsSave The Bees focuses on public education and advocacy to protect bee habitats.

Are all bee species affected by the decline?Yes, the decline in bee populations affects various species, not just honey bees. solitary bees like bumble bees, carpenter bees, and sweet bees threats such as habitat loss, pesticide exposure, and climate change-induced disruptions, contributing to their declining numbers. Visit our news pages for information on bees in all parts of the United States.

How does climate change impact bee populations?Climate change is a big problem for bees. It changes their homes, messes up when flowers bloom, and makes it harder for bees to find food. Changes in weather can make it harder for bees to find nectar and pollen, which they need to stay healthy.

What is the role of corporations in the movement?They can help by using farming methods that are safe for bees and other pollinators. This means using fewer harmful chemicals, supporting projects that help bees, and following eco-friendly rules. Imagine a future where big companies in the U.S. help pollinators like bees. Each company could help by giving donations, setting up beehives, or teaching people why bees are important. Save The Bees USA hopes for a day when companies help keep bees safe and healthy.

Are urban areas contributing to bee decline?Urbanization does contribute to bee habitat loss, but individuals in urban areas can play a positive role. Creating bee-friendly spaces, supporting community gardens, and advocating for green spaces within cities can help counteract the negative impacts of urbanization on bee populations.

How does the movement address pesticide use?The movement is working to use fewer chemicals, especially ones called neonicotinoids, which hurt bees. They are trying to make rules to stop using harmful chemicals, find safer ways to help plants grow, and show people how these chemicals hurt bees. Some states have made laws to ban certain chemicals that harm bees. Make sure your state is helping too.

What is the impact of bee decline on agriculture?The drop in bee numbers is hurting farming. Bees help pollinate many crops, and if there are fewer bees, we might grow less food. This can cause problems with how much food we have and affect the world’s economy. We also need to learn more about other types of bees, like native and solitary bees, and how they help farming.

How can schools participate in the Save the Bees movement?Schools can help by teaching students about bees. Planting bee-friendly gardens at school gives students a way to learn while helping bees. Schools can also hold events, invite bee experts, and get students involved in saving the bees. This helps kids learn to care for the environment. Programs like the Observation Hive at Save The Bees USA let students see how beehives work up close.
