What's in a name?
BEE CONNECT

(The name / brand Bee Connect, from English 'bee' and 'connect' )

The name comes from the awareness of the very important role played by bees, as sentinels of pollution in urban contexts and carriers, with pollination, of greenery in the city.

The bee is a very active and industrious animal, with a beneficial function on society, just like those who travel by scooter.

In fact, scooter riders move like a small swarm of bees, connecting friends, people, destinations and activities, from work to school, especially in this period of disaffection with public transport due to the need for distancing.
