Questions, answered straight
Is this Honeygain?
No. The Passive Bee is an independent guide. Our buttons are referral links to Honeygain. You get $3 for joining, and we may earn a referral bonus.
Is it safe?
Honeygain says the app has no access to your personal files or browsing history. Businesses use the shared bandwidth for things like ad verification, price monitoring and market research.
How much will I earn?
About $0.10 per GB shared. Honeygain's average payout is $27. Expect small amounts. What you get depends on country, uptime and demand.
Will it drain my battery or data?
Honeygain says data use depends on demand and your connection, typically from a few hundred MB to several GB a month. Content Delivery, where available, can use noticeably more. Honeygain does not publish a battery figure. On Android, battery saving can stop the app, and Honeygain suggests setting its battery mode to Unrestricted if you want it to keep running. A PC or Wi-Fi on an unlimited plan avoids surprises.
Does it work on iPhone or iPad?
Not right now. Honeygain lists iOS as not available, and the app is not in the Apple App Store. It runs on Windows, macOS, Android and Linux (via Docker).
Which countries does it work in?
Honeygain says the app works worldwide. PayPal payouts and Content Delivery are limited to the countries on Honeygain's lists, so check yours in its help center. How much you share depends on local demand.
Do I pay tax on what I earn?
Honeygain's terms say you are responsible for any taxes on payouts in your country, and that it may withhold tax where the law requires. This is not tax advice. Check your local rules with your tax authority.
How do I get paid?
PayPal from $20 (a $2.02 fee per payout). Or use JumpTask mode for gift cards from $0.50.
Can I quit anytime?
Yes. It is free, there is nothing to cancel, and you can uninstall whenever you like.
