What is the World Bee Garden?

One planet, one garden, millions of gardeners

A garden without a fence

The World Bee Garden is not a single place you can visit. It is every balcony planter, school courtyard, farm hedgerow, and city rooftop where someone has decided to make room for a bee. Together, these small patches of habitat form one connected, worldwide garden.

Why we built it

Pollinators cross borders, seasons, and continents, but the people trying to help them have mostly worked alone. The World Bee Garden connects those individual efforts into a shared map, a shared calendar, and a shared body of knowledge, so a gardener in Nairobi and a gardener in Lisbon can learn from each other, and from the same trusted science.

What you will find here

Clear, research-backed guidance on gardening for pollinators, an illustrated journey inside the hive, a living map of member gardens, seasonal seed exchanges, short documentaries, a rotating quiz, and a free companion app so the project fits in your pocket, not just your browser.

Who it is for

Children planting their first sunflower, retirees restoring a wildflower meadow, teachers running a schoolyard habitat project, beekeepers, and city planners are all part of the same community. No experience is required, only curiosity and a little soil.
