We the bees are in danger

We, the bees, are not strong and resilient enough to climate change, pesticides, disease, pests, predators and toxic clouds. We try, hard, but we can't do it alone!

We need people, companies and public agencies to stand up for us concretely, with measurable and strong actions. We are tired of the usual marketing gimmicks and being exploited. Adopt a 3Bee hive is a 360-degree project that starts from flowers and reaches into space.

The causes of bee mortality

CLIMATIC
CHANGE

Flowers no longer produce nectar, fundamental nourishment for bees

PESTICIDES

External agents and agricultural chemical treatments poison bees

DISEASES

Pests, virosis and bacteria are fast spreading plagues

LOSS OF NATURAL HABITATS

Monocultures, overbuilding and crazy climate are destroying biodiversity

3Bee supports the bees with science and technology,
creating a network of aware citizens

Monitoring, Regeneration, Education

We Monitor and Care

3Bee has developed technology to study honey and wild bees. We acquire data from bees to improve their care.

We Regenerate

Choosing a 3Bee hive helps to study biodiversity by developing unique agroforestry systems. Disseminating the land with nectar and pollen.

We Educate

Our data are used by universities to improve bee care protocols. We have also activated more than 800 elementary schools in outreach projects for children.

« I have been given a 3bee beehive as a gift thanks to the program that allows me to adopt one. I did not think that something simple and symbolic could make me so happy. Every now and then I monitor my hive and in September I will go and meet my bees who are now roaming around Italy. Thank you 3bee for actively contributing to the well-being of our planet! »

L’indice di biodiversità

Il Bee-Index di 3Bee

Attraverso l’uso di nuove tecnologie all'avanguardia, come le mappe satellitari in collaborazione con ESA (Agenzia Spaziale Europea) e lo Spectrum, possiamo monitorare nel tempo il miglioramento della fauna e della flora nelle zone di interesse con la redazione del primo indice quantitativo di biodiversità: il Bee-Index.

Spectrum è la tecnologia 3Bee per il monitoraggio della fauna.
I suoni, campionati e analizzati durante tutto l'anno, monitorano in tempo reale gli impollinatori e animali autoctoni.

QUESTIONS & DOUBTS | FAQ

How much does it cost to adopt a beehive?

Why Adopt a beehive?

Adopting a beehive in many cases is a marketing initiative to sell honey. 3Bee, on the other hand, has taken sides since the beginning in favor of bees. By choosing our hives you are participating in an international project for the monitoring and care of bees. Our beekeepers are obliged to use only ethical practices, monitoring the bees through applications and reducing their stress. The honey produced is the first sustainable honey.

How to choose your hive, its beekeeper and the flowers to pollinate (Honey)

On the next page you will see a list of beekeepers (www.3bee.it/beekeepers). Each beekeeper uses our monitoring technology, which allows to reduce travel (co2), to reduce stress to the bees (avoiding to disturb them often) and providing essential data to identify pathologies and diseases. Here you can choose the biodiversity you prefer to pollinate. You can decide whether to buy it for yourself or give it as a gift. But remember to add the delivery address after the purchase.

I have not received any confirmation

How does honey shipping work?

Gift a beehive

There are 3 Gift Options. 1) You Choose and Send Mail. You choose the hive, honey and beekeeper and choose to send a scheduled email to the recipient. The recipient will receive their tracking credentials and user profile. You will need to know their email in order to enter it.2) You choose and hand deliver. You choose the hive, honey and beekeeper and get a certificate from with a code for redeeming. Print the certificate and give it to the person (or turn it in by email if that's more convenient). The recipient will redeem their gift by logging into app.3bee.com and following the steps on the certificate. 3) Let the recipient choose. Give a giftcard with a quantity of honey. The recipient will be able to redeem it by accessing 3bee.it/adotta-hive and choosing everything. Either honey, hive or beekeeper.

I didn't receive the honey.

1) If you haven't received the honey or the tracking email after the due date, the most likely thing is that you didn't enter a correct address. Login to your profile and fix it, your honey will arrive at the next round. That's why your beekeeper will keep your honey in stock so you don't have to wait another year. 2) Did you receive tracking? Is the package lost or broken? In the first case contact us and we will send a new package and get a refund from the courier. In the second case, we can re-send the package only if you have signed with reserve and/or taken a photo of the damaged package. Unfortunately, we have to protect our beekeepers from potential fraud. However, if the package is broken you have the right to receive it NEW and intact.
