Introducing the Best Bees Client Portal
For more than a decade, The Best Bees Company has been collecting data from thousands of beehives across the U.S. With every visit, our beekeepers observe, measure, and document what’s happening inside the hive. Over time, these individual observations have grown into a rich dataset chronicling honey bee health across the country.
In 2026, we opened a new window into that data, bringing clients closer than ever to the lives of their bees.
The Best Bees Client Portal is an online platform designed exclusively for Best Bees clients, bringing beehive data, beekeeper insights, account information, resources, and more together in one place. Available on desktop and mobile, the portal offers a window into the fascinating world of a honey bee hive– no suit or veil required.
A Closer Connection to Your Bees
A beehive is constantly changing. Populations rise and fall and honey stores fill and empty. Nurse bees become foragers that adapt to shifting seasons and emergent blooms. While clients may only see their beekeeper on certain days throughout the season, there is a much bigger story unfolding inside the hive.
With the portal, clients can follow that story from visit to visit. They can watch their colonies change throughout the year, return to notes from their beekeeper, and build a deeper understanding of their bees beyond the moments they experience in person.
Behind that experience is the same field data that powers our beekeeping operations. Historically, much of that visit-level data flowed into Best Bees’ internal systems, where our teams use it to track colonies and inform their care. The portal brings those observations directly to clients, offering a new look into both the health of their hives and the work happening behind the scenes to support them.
What’s Inside the Best Bees Client Portal?
Hive Health Statistics
Clients can explore key indicators including brood levels, active bee populations, honey stores, and queen health, helping them understand not only how their bees are doing today, but how the colony changes over time.
Hive Inspection Summaries
Detailed visit notes bring together the date and weather conditions, the beekeeper who performed the service, a high-level assessment of the colony, and a written summary of what they observed. Past visits remain available in the portal, creating an ongoing record clients can return to throughout the season.
Beekeeper Actions & Definitions
Within each visit, clients can see the actions their beekeeper completed, supported by definitions and iconography that explain what those actions mean. From checking queen status to managing hive population, the portal makes the work of beekeeping more accessible and gives clients an opportunity to learn alongside our team.
Account & Program Details
The Client Portal is also designed to make the administrative side of your Pollinator Program simpler. Clients can access invoices and payment status, make payments, manage contacts, and review their history of Best Bees products and activations—all from one centralized account.
Built to Be Shared
The Client Portal includes a public-facing, shareable experience that allows clients to invite employees, tenants, residents, friends, family, and other members of their community to follow along.
A simple accessible link can be shared directly or integrated into an existing tenant or building platform (e.g. VTS and HqO) giving more people a way to discover the bees, learn about their impact, and stay connected to what’s happening at the hive.
For our corporate partners in particular, this turns a beehive from an onsite amenity into an experience that can reach far beyond the people who happen to walk past it.
Resources, Reports, and More—All in One Place
Beyond the hive itself, the Client Portal serves as a central home for the broader Best Bees experience.
A resource library gives clients easy access to materials they can use to learn, communicate, and share their program, including promotional resources and Best Bees research. Site-specific reports, including HoneyDNATM, also live alongside the rest of the account for easy access and sharing.
From the main dashboard, clients can quickly understand their account and hive status before diving deeper into individual visits, data, resources, or account information.
The goal is simple: more ways to engage in one centralized place.
Designed by People Who Know Bees
The Client Portal was imagined and designed in-house at The Best Bees Company, bringing together the people who understand our clients, our beekeepers, our data, and our technology.
The process began with sketches and wireframes led by our Brand team, translating years of client feedback and experience into a vision for a more connected digital experience. Engineering and Product Fulfillment helped validate those concepts against the realities of our operations and beekeeping systems, while UX/UI and front-end design were developed in-house by our Graphic Designer under the direction of our Director of Brand.
From vision to concept, prototype to design, the portal brought together expertise across beekeeping, technology, design, and operations. It reflects what Best Bees does best: combining deep beekeeping knowledge with perspectives from across disciplines to create new ways to understand and connect with bees and biodiversity.
Powered by Our Proprietary Software, Bzzz
Behind the Client Portal is Bzzz, The Best Bees Company’s proprietary hive tracking system.
Since our earliest days, Bzzz has been the home of our beekeeping data. Our beekeepers use it to document what they see and do in the field, creating a standardized record of hive health across years, seasons, locations, and colonies.
Today, that history has grown into the largest library of standardized beehive health data in the world.
The Client Portal was designed to connect directly with Bzzz, creating a bridge between the information our beekeepers collect in the field and the clients whose hives help make that research possible.
Data collected at the hive can become a bigger part of the client experience—giving people direct access to what’s really happening inside a living, ever-evolving colony.
We’re Just Getting Started
The 2026 Client Portal is the foundation for something much bigger.
As we continue to develop the platform, we’re exploring new ways for clients and their communities to interact with their Pollinator Programs, understand their environmental impact, and explore the biodiversity surrounding their sites.
That means richer biodiversity reporting, deeper opportunities for engagement, and new ways to turn the data generated by our bees into knowledge that can help people support the ecosystems around them.
For now, we’re excited to give Best Bees clients a closer look inside their hives—and one place to experience everything their Pollinator Program has to offer.
