About Scopa

Scopa was founded in 2022 to help reverse the significant decline in our planet's biodiversity. Each year we lose 1% of the world's species, with the majority of those being insects that are the foundation of life on Earth. While we are starting modestly by focusing on bee homes, our hope is to use this as the starting point to launch a series of products and ventures that change the way people think about the ecosystem around them and the role insects play in it. We believe that once people see with their own eyes the incredible biodiversity - or lack thereof - that is in their own yard, doing things like keeping a perfectly green lawn will seem antiquated. There is genuine beauty in biodiversity, and we want to create things that help people to see that beauty. We want our products to stand on their own as compelling objects worthy of the natural materials they are made of. They should give people something they cherish and maintain, and that they can proudly put in their yards to become a focus of attention and conversation. Our name is borrowed from our wild bee friends, and refers to the hairs that many have on their hind legs or abdomen. They use these hairs to hold the pollen they gather, and it originates from the Latin word for "broom."Read their story
