Start a Hive

Create your hive. Anywhere in the world.

Give it a name, drop it in your city, and decide how much you want behind it. You do not need land, bees, or experience.

What starting a hive actually means

Start a Hive means creating and leading a local community campaign to bring a professionally managed hive to a city. It does not mean that an untrained person will receive bees, place a hive without approval, or become responsible for beekeeping. You help tell the local story, invite supporters, find volunteers, and build momentum. Save The Bees helps review the plan, confirm local feasibility, connect the campaign with an appropriate beekeeper and host site, and publish verified milestones.
