Save the Bees USA

Welcome to Save The Bees USA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on how to save the bees—from honey bees to bumblebees—by highlighting their critical role as pollinators. Our mission is to protect these essential species through bee conservation, habitat restoration, and public education.

Bees help pollinate one-third of the food we eat and are important for keeping our ecosystems healthy. By supporting our work to protect pollinators, you help create safe places where bees can grow and survive. This is very important for the future of our planet’s plants, animals, and food. Take action today and join the movement to help save the bees!

Help Save Pollinators, Protect Our Future

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.

Why Protecting Pollinators Matters

Protect Bees

Bees are responsible for pollinating over 75% of the crops that our food systems rely on, making them vital to both our environment and economy. Our Observation Hives in Schools program brings the wonder of bees into classrooms, allowing students, teachers, and communities to witness bee behavior and pollination up close. This program not only teaches the next generation about the essential role bees play in biodiversity but also highlights how bees contribute directly to food security and environmental health. By engaging young minds, we foster an understanding of the critical importance of pollinators in sustaining our ecosystems and food supply.

Raising Public Awareness Through Education and Advocacy

Public Awareness

Learning is the first step to helping bees. At Save The Bees USA, we have programs that show kids, families, and friends the big jobs that bees do to help with growing plants and keeping nature healthy.

With fun learning activities like our Observation Hives in Schools program, people can see how each type of bee helps nature. By supporting these programs, you help pay for bee studies and learning programs that keep bees safe and healthy, so everyone can enjoy a bright future.

Creating Bee-Friendly Habitats Across America

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 way to learn about bees! This project is made for schools and lets students see bees up close. They can watch how bees act and learn why bees are so important.

With this project, students see how bees help with pollination and keeping nature healthy. It helps them understand why we need to protect bees and care for our world.

Adopt A Hive

Sponsoring One Hive Saves 30,000 Bees

Adopt A Beehive

The Adopt a Hive program lets people and groups help bees by sponsoring or "adopting" a hive. When you join, you are helping to protect honeybees and other bees.

Your help keeps bees strong, which is important for nature. This program also makes the world safer for bees by getting more people to help protect them.

Adopt A Queen

Adopt a Queen, Sustain the Buzz

The Adopt A Queen program teaches people about bees and helps raise money to protect them. People, groups, and communities can "adopt" a queen bee to help keep bees safe and strong.

Helping with this program is important because bees are special pollinators that help plants grow and keep nature healthy.

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 helps protect bumblebees. This program is very important for their survival.

Our Bumblebee Restoration Program creates safe homes where bumblebees can live and grow strong.

The program has three main parts. Each part works to keep bumblebees safe and supports a healthy environment.

Join the Save the Bees Movement

The Save the Bees Movement works to protect bees like honey bees and solitary bees. We focus on big problems like loss of habitats, pesticide use, and climate change.

Our goal is to find ways to save bees and keep nature strong. We want bees to have safe places to live and grow.

By promoting bee-friendly actions and helping rebuild habitats, we work to keep bees safe and support nature. This work is important for keeping our environment healthy.

Join us in the Save the Bees Movement to help protect bees and support a future where nature can thrive.

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 focuses on the sharp drop in bee numbers. Some types of bees are close to disappearing because of pesticides, loss of habitats, and climate change.

Environmental GuardiansSave The Bees is important because bees help nature by pollinating plants. These plants support animals and keep ecosystems healthy. Without bees, many parts of nature would have a hard time surviving.

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 numbers affects many kinds of bees, not just honey bees. Solitary bees like bumble bees, carpenter bees, and sweet bees are also in danger. They face problems like losing their homes, exposure to pesticides, and changes from climate change.

Visit our news pages to learn more about bees across the United States.

How does climate change impact bee populations?Climate change is a big problem for bees. It changes their homes and the timing of flowers blooming. This makes it harder for bees to find food.

Weather changes make it hard 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 safe ways to farm that don’t hurt bees. This means using fewer bad chemicals, helping with bee projects, and following nature-friendly rules.

Imagine a future where big companies in the U.S. help bees. Each company could help by donating, setting up beehives, or teaching people why bees matter.

Save The Bees USA hopes for a time when companies help keep bees safe and healthy.

Are urban areas contributing to bee decline?Building cities can take away places where bees live. But people in cities can still help bees! One way to help is by creating bee-friendly spaces. This could be a small garden or a few flowers on a balcony. Every little bit helps.

People can also support community gardens in their neighborhoods. These gardens give bees food and safe places to visit.

Another way to help is by asking for more green spaces in cities, like parks and flower-filled areas. Green spaces help bees find the food they need.

When people in cities create safe places for bees, they help protect bees from the changes that come with building cities.

How does the movement address pesticide use?The movement is working to use fewer chemicals that hurt bees. One type of harmful chemical is called neonicotinoids. These chemicals are very bad for bees.

The movement wants to make rules to stop using harmful chemicals. They are also looking for safer ways to help plants grow. They show people how these chemicals hurt bees.

Some states have made laws to ban chemicals that harm bees. You can check to see if 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. If there are fewer bees, we might not grow as much food.

This can cause problems with the amount of food we have. It can also affect the world’s economy.

We need to learn more about other types of bees too. Native bees and solitary bees help farming in important ways.

How can schools participate in the Save the Bees movement?Schools can help by teaching students about bees. Planting bee-friendly gardens at school lets students learn and help bees at the same time.

Schools can also have events, invite bee experts, and get students involved in saving 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.
