Why are bees important?
What do bees make you think of? Honey? Getting stung? As it turns out, they are far more important than you might realize—and are worth protecting.
We are working to save the bees - from asking Amazon to stop selling bee-killing pesticides to sharing bee-friendly garden tips - and you can help.
Bees play a crucial role in our lives. But as our society uses more pesticides, their populations are plummeting.

Together, we can save the bees.
