Know the place you live.

Bee is a map of everything going on in your community.

The good stuff is closer than you think.

Right now, within a few miles of you, someone is organizing an activity you’d love — a trail day, a repair café, a garden that needs hands, a potluck where you’d finally meet your neighbors. If you knew, you’d go. That’s the gap Bee closes: We make your own town easy to see again, so the life already there can reach you. The town bulletin board worked for generations. This is the new one.

Built by Shock

Bee is built by Shock, a nonprofit technology startup with a simple idea: the best thing a screen can do is help you put it down.

Our values.

Empowerment
Communities thrive when people have the tools and access to create the change they want to see.
Environment
The land we live on is worth protecting. We promote practices that repair and sustain the natural world around us.
Education
Everyone has something to learn and something to teach. Curiosity makes communities stronger.

We’re your neighbors, too.

You know the feeling. Too many hours on a screen, watching life happen somewhere else. We got tired of it too, so we built the opposite: a tool that gets you out the door and back into the real world. This is who we are.
