# Introduction

> What the Hive is and how it works

# Introduction

The Hive is the BEE token purchase automation system integrated directly into BeeSwarm Wallet. Through automation, you authorize the contract to make automatic BEE micro-purchases every hour using the USDT in your wallet.

Everything is operated through immutable smart contracts — each action requires your direct signature on the contract. Nothing happens without your permission.

<Warning>
  Every operation in the Hive is a transaction on BNB Chain. You need BNB in your wallet to pay gas fees. Without BNB, no action is possible — you cannot join, authorize, or transfer.
