## Best for
People coordinating staged agent work from a desktop while choosing their own model connections.

## Avoid if
You need an agent workspace without local hardware requirements or assume connected model usage is included for free.

## About Bees
Bees is a desktop workspace for multi-agent processes, scheduled tasks and local knowledge search. It connects existing agent clients or local and hosted models to MCP tools, with staged work and reviewer roles. Public desktop source is available under a choice of MIT or Apache-2.0, with released desktop installers. Model subscriptions, API usage and local hardware are separate costs; the publisher currently offers cloud coordination without a paid plan. Installation, privacy boundaries and approval enforcement were not tested.
