Are you tired of scrolling through endless dating app profiles and rarely finding anyone you’re interested in? Bumble’s Best Bees feature, which operates similarly to Tinder’s Top Picks and Hinge’s Most Compatible, could be the solution.
Best Bees is a personalized feed of people identified by the Bumble app algorithm as being particularly well-suited to you.
Rather than sifting through countless irrelevant profiles, with Best Bees, most compatible matches that meet your preferences are brought directly to you.
But how does it work – and can it really make your hunt for love quicker and easier?
Before we get to that, there's something that works better than everything else, and that's having a great profile. There are certain techniques to crafting a profile that other people want to match with, no matter who you are. ROAST can apply those techniques to your profile. They're dating experts, and they even have an AI that analyzes your pictures to see how they will perform. Start by taking their short quiz.

Ready to boost your online dating knowledge?
STOP swiping for nothing, use ROAST to get data-driven feedback and a clear action plan to become an expert.
The Bumble app’s Best Bees feature tries to ensure that you only need to consider profiles the algorithm thinks you’ll like.
It acts as your own personal matchmaker, using your preferences and information to select profiles it thinks might be a good fit for you.
Bumble takes into account factors such as your dating preferences (including height, verification, exercise habits, star sign, education, drinking and smoking habits, and languages spoken) in order to whittle down the general pool of potential matches.
It also looks at data from both your swiping patterns on the app and your match history to further refine its predictions for who will best float your boat.
Drawing on millions of singles means Bumble users can have an access to larger numbers of potentially compatible connections than traditional matchmaking agencies.
While it sounds nifty, a matchmaking experience is much more fun when you're already matched with a bunch of people. Best Bees won't be much help if you know they won't match with you. That's why you should enlist the help of ROAST, who will utilize their years of dating app research to make you a profile that gets more matches. Thanks to their techniques that make your profile objectively better, you'll have your pick of people to talk to. Start by taking their quiz.

No dates?
ROAST can help you understand WHY and HOW to fix it.
For each user, Bumble’s algorithm selects a set of profiles called Bumble’s Best Bees.
These profiles are chosen to maximize the chance that you’ll like someone, and they’ll like you back, using criteria about how people behave on dating apps (swiping right on everyone is discouraged) and what seems to work well in practice.
Best does not mean “most attractive” but rather most likely to be attracted to YOU – so it makes sense for you both to match up.
Bumble’s algorithm takes into account your preferences and data about how people typically behave on the app – though if it suspects you’re a swiper, beware!
It might reduce your chances by showing warning signs – or reward them by boosting your profile visibility, which it determines with an Elo score that measures how high up in its internal attractiveness rankings users are deemed.
Bumble's algorithm can be hard to figure out, but the experts at ROAST have done it. They know what kinds of pictures you need to boost your visibility, and they can help you choose those pictures. They'll even advise you on what you should do differently to get more matches on the app. Talk to ROAST before making another swipe.
Have you ever wondered why the algorithm is working for your friends but not you?
It's hard to know what makes a dating profile attractive, and even harder to know which pictures are good or not.

These are selected based on both your preferences and how others interact with your profile. You won’t start seeing them until you’ve had one successful match.

ROAST can help you improve your dating profile so you can easily be at the forefront of the dating game.
When you come across a Best Bee on Bumble that you like, think of it as giving them a Superswipe for free. Instead of swiping left or right, just hit “like” on their profile in the Best Bees section.
The other person will get a notification saying you’ve liked them, which boosts your visibility and improves your chances of getting matched.
Given Bumble has specifically selected these users as compatible matches for you, why not prioritize showing your profile to the Best Bee if you’ve shown interest in them? It’s another way Bumble can increase your chance of connecting.
Of course, this feature is only useful if the other person likes what they see. There's no getting around that. That's why you should go with ROAST -- they know how to make other people like what they see. No matter who you are, ROAST can help you make a profile that more people will want to swipe right on. It's the difference between having zero matches and having two new people to talk to this week. Who knows, maybe next week it'll be five. Maybe one of them will be your soulmate. Talk to ROAST today.

Bumble Best Bees are indeed free for all users, with every person receiving four Best Bees daily. But there’s a catch: If you want to access and like more than one Best Bee per day (at least one match), you’ll need to upgrade to Bumble Premium.
This premium subscription offers unlimited likes for Best Bees, among other features, such as being able to see your Bee Line or use incognito mode.
It’s worth noting that Bumble Boost – the app’s first paid tier – doesn’t let you like more of your Best Bees.
Designed to increase matches, the Best Bees feature clearly encourages people by limiting them to free likes to consider upgrading their membership if they’re after an enhanced experience.

How good is your profile?
STOP swiping for nothing, get data-driven feedback and a clear action plan to get more dates.
Though Bumble's Best Bees profiles can be an efficient and useful tool for finding potential matches, its restrictions on how many "likes" are free and the necessity of paying for a subscription to use it could potentially limit users' experience. Let's break them down.
It saves time: This feature curates a list of compatible profiles every day that match your preferences – saving you from having to swipe through countless unsuitable ones.
It increases chances of compatibility: The Best Bees algorithm narrows down the pool to just four profiles with whom you may have more in common, upping your chances of finding a good match.
It provides a bespoke user experience: Each person gets their own set of tailored Best Bees based on previous activity and likes – adding an extra layer of personalized service.
Dating apps try to add a lot of enticing new features, but what use are they if you don't increase your matches? The only thing that gets you more matches is a great profile. ROAST can set you up with one. They know what works on dating apps better than anyone else, and they're ready to apply that knowledge to you. Get more matches with ROAST.

Bumble has debuted its Best Bees feature as it looks to compete against popular dating apps. It is equivalent to the 'Top Picks' feature elsewhere and offers up a curated selection of potential matches sent straight to an account holder's screen based on their stated horizons.

That not only improved the overall user experience on Bumble but also increased the chances of finding compatible connections without having to fork out on it.
So why not try Best Bees – and see if it makes your love life buzz more than ever before on Bumble?
