Green Game Jam Player’s Choice Award!
Last year we won the Player’s Choice Award thanks to all of you! Can we make it two in a row?
Welcome to Hay Day Give Back!
We love our stress-free farming utopia, and together we get to extend some of that harmony to the world around us by ‘playing it forward’. You play, we give. Together we lift up causes and communities that get us all a little bit closer to the beauty of our Hay Day haven. Learn more about our current cause below!
Can you hear that? That bee-utiful buzzing is the sound of nature thriving! While you’ve been protecting our precious pollinators by reviving trees and bushes on your Hay Day farm, we’ve been busy supporting bee conservation around the world as part of this year’s Green Game Jam! Meet the changemakers we’re helping to conserve 1 million square feet of bee habitat! That’s equivalent to 17 American football fields!
Why bees??
Bees are essential pollinators, responsible for one-third of the food we eat and the health of countless ecosystems. They help maintain ecosystems, enrich human life, and are also great allies in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Bees promote biodiversity by pollinating and aiding plant reproduction across landscapes. They help us fight hunger since they are responsible for the reproduction of many species that are a part of human diets across the world. They provide jobs in agriculture and other sectors, and through that help us fight poverty. Yet, climate change, habitat loss, and pesticides are pushing their populations into decline.

Meet the changemakers on the ground!
Xerces Society for Invertebrates Conservation
New York and Detroit, United States
Xerces is a nonprofit protecting pollinators and invertebrates across North America, with a focus on bees, butterflies, and aquatic species. Through its Habitat Kit Program, Xerces provides free, regionally native plants to support community-led restoration projects. In 2024, over 145,000 plants were distributed to sites including urban farms and wildlife sanctuaries, boosting biodiversity and making conservation more accessible.
Best Bees Company
Chicago, United States
Best Bees installs and manages honeybee hives in urban areas, using data to support national bee health research. This project connects research apiaries across a network to improve pollinator habitats, focusing on nutrition as a key to bee health. Using mapping tools, they identify optimal foraging and nesting sites, supporting long-term, locally adapted pollinator populations across community, corporate, and institutional spaces.
Friends of Usamabra Society
Lushoto and Bumbuli, Tanzania
Combining tree planting, community forestry, and sustainable tourism, Friends of Usambara works to restore the Eastern Arc Mountains. This project supports local beekeeping alongside forest restoration, training families to raise bees for income without harming forests. Pollination aids reforestation, while honey and beeswax sales offer nature-friendly livelihoods, reducing pressures like logging and charcoal burning, and inspiring similar efforts in other communities.
WeForest
Copperbelt, Zambia
WeForest restores forests to combat climate change, support biodiversity, and improve livelihoods. In Zambia’s Copperbelt, the project works with small-scale farmers to restore degraded Miombo forests through agroforestry and beekeeping. Farmers receive training, materials, and market access for honey, offering a sustainable income alternative to charcoal production. Beekeeping supports pollination, short-term income, and long-term forest conservation.
Amazon Research Internacional
Peru
Amazon Research Internacional protects biodiversity and empowers Indigenous communities in Peru’s high-altitude Amazon. Partnering with the Ashaninka people, the project restores degraded rainforest, installs stingless beehives to support pollination, and trains locals, especially women and youth, in conservation and sustainable livelihoods. Efforts focus on safeguarding endangered species like stingless bees while regenerating vital ecosystems through community-led science and reforestation.

What can you do to help our little friends?
By taking simple actions–like planting native flowering trees, reducing pesticide use, supporting bee populations by installing and maintaining bee hives– you can help protect these vital pollinators and make a real impact. Join us in creating a bee-friendly future!
And! Join forces with Nature. Our friends at Playing for the Planet are inviting all of us to show world leaders that gamers love nature! If they get 100,000 messages they’ll share these with policy makers who love games and the planet.
