What is Swarmed?
Swarmed is a community-driven platform that helps the public report honey bee swarms and connects those reports with local beekeepers who can safely rescue them. It’s free to use, designed for easy use, and built to support beekeepers and bee populations.
How It Works
- Someone sees a swarm, looks up what to do, and then reports it on beeswarmed.org.
- Swarmed instantly notifies beekeepers within the area (SMS, WhatsApp, or email).
- The first beekeeper to claim the swarm gets the details to catch the swarm.
- The swarm is safely collected and rehived.
Swarmed protects your privacy. Your contact info is only shared with the person whose swarm you claim.
Who Can Join?
Any beekeeper who wants to catch swarms can join Swarmed. You don’t need to be part of an association, though associations can integrate Swarmed for their members.
