  • The National Geographic GeoBee (called the National Geography Bee from 1989 to 2000 and the National Geographic Bee from 2001 to 2018, also referred to as the Nat Geo Bee) was an annual geography contest sponsored by the National Geographic Society. The bee, held annually since 1989, it is open to students in the fourth through eighth grades in participating schools from the United States. The entities represented at the national level came from all fifty U.S. states, all the territories, the Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS), and the District of Columbia. The National Geographic Bee Finals were moderated by Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek for its first 25 years (1989–2013). At the 2013 National Geographic Bee, Trebek announced that 2013 would be his last year hosting the Finals. Newscaster Soledad O'Brien took his place the following year, moderating the bee in 2014 and 2015. O'Brien was then replaced by Mo Rocca in 2016 and Rocca moderated the Bee until its permanent cancellation in 2021. In 2020, the Bee was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2021 edition was also cancelled due to a 75% drop in registrations. As of 9 July 2021, the Bee has been permanently cancelled, according to a statement by National Geographic. (en)
