Humans' relationship with bees is vital

We are all responsible for the problem. webee cannot change the fate of mankind but it can help.

Our mission,
our promise,
our commitment

webee exists to help protect and improve the well-being of bees. webee’s commitment intends to be concrete and tangible. Just as royalties are paid by companies to use the name of their coveted luxury brands, webee pays a kind of royalty to bees for their vital contribution to our existence.

For this reason webee allocates 10% of its turnover to fund actions that support the preservation of bees.
