Save The Bees uses honey bees to help all wildlife thrive.
Our goal
Habitat loss
Bees lose the land where they feed and nest, and the land that remains breaks into small pieces.
Intensive farming
Farms grow one crop across large fields in place of mixed plants.
Pesticides
Pesticide use grows as farmland grows.
Pests and diseases
Pests and diseases weaken bees in hives and in the wild.
Climate change
Heat extremes and shifts in flowering time break the link between flowers and bees.

Part 1 of 6
The floor and the front door
Bees land on this board and walk in through the door. In cold weather, a wooden block shrinks the door. Then a small colony can guard it.
Look for the landing board, the door above it, and the wooden block.
Frame 5 of 10
The middle of the brood nest, where young bees grow
The queen laid eggs in the middle of this comb. Young bees grow there under wax caps. Drag the frame, or use the turn button, to see the other side.
Look for tan caps over the young bees in the middle, with pollen around them.
A worker honey bee has a fuzzy middle and a striped back end. It has two big eyes, two antennae, six legs, and four wings.
