Here you’ll find quick answers to the most important questions about BusyBees, tasks, memberships and your profile.
BusyBees is a platform that connects people in their local area for small jobs, flexible support and paid help. If you need a helping hand, you can simply post a task. If you want to earn extra money by helping others, you can find suitable tasks near you.
BusyBees is currently available in Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The platform is available in German, English, Slovak and Czech. More countries and languages are coming soon.
