FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

BusyBees is a platform that connects people in their local area – for small jobs, flexible support, and paid help. Anyone who needs help can easily post a task. Those who want to help can find suitable tasks nearby.

BusyBees is currently available in Austria, so jobs can only be posted there for now. The platform is available in German and English. Slovak and Czech will be added soon, with Hungarian and other languages to follow.

It’s simple: After registering, you can post a task for free – from handyman jobs like painting walls, to help with household or garden tasks, up to online tutoring or virtual office assistance.
Registered users who want to take tasks can browse suitable offers nearby and – after purchasing a membership (BusyBees Active 3, 6, or 12) – contact clients directly.
This way, BusyBees brings people together quickly, easily, and locally.

It depends on the type, scope and duration of the task. Fair and realistic pay increases the chances your task will be accepted quickly. If you’re unsure, just state what the task is worth to you – Bees can suggest a counter-offer in the task chat.

You can either set a fixed price or enter a rough estimate. Many Bees will then make a counter-offer. What matters most is that the payment is fair and realistic – a clear price makes it more likely your task will be accepted quickly.

Yes, you can post multiple tasks anytime. Under “My Tasks” in your profile, you can edit or delete them at any time. This gives you full flexibility if details change or a task is no longer needed.

Your tasks are visible to all BusyBees members browsing the relevant category or searching by keywords. That way, your task reaches exactly the Bees who are ready to help.

That depends on the task, your region and current demand. Many tasks are accepted within a few hours – others may take a little longer. Fair pay and clear descriptions increase your chances of getting a quick response.

Yes – you can reject applications in the task chat if they don’t meet your expectations. You stay in control and can wait for applications that better match your needs.

You handle payment directly with the Bee. When and how you pay is entirely up to you. We recommend discussing payment details before the task begins to ensure everything runs smoothly.
