Bee

The Global Shopping Cült

Bee is a live-shopping marketplace where real people stream from real stores and buyers purchase instantly. Each shopper runs a micro-community (~500 clients) and earns 20–40% commission; Bee takes 8%. No ads. No middlemen. Human driven commerce.

WHY IT WORKS

Social commerce dominates Asia; the West still burns cash on ads and bots. Bee builds trust-based infrastructure where humans replace algorithms. Brick-and-mortar retailers use Bee to move overstock with zero marketing spend and gain global traffic to their physical stores.

Unlike Whatnot, Amazon, Temu, Shein, or TikTok Shop, Bee is peer-to-peer and borderless, connecting real people and global shops across continents.

WHY NOW

Consumers are done with marketing and influencer fatigue. They want to see, ask, and buy live. Bee connects online demand with offline inventory, the bridge between e-commerce and real stores. The shift is inevitable: you either invest in it now or buy from it later.
