Report a Colony

What is a swarm?

Swarms are how new bee colonies form, with thousands of bees leaving their hive with their queen to find a new home.

Once settled, the bees begin to build a hive, building honeycomb and raising new generations of bees.

If you spot one, stay calm and report it to a local beekeeper to get the bees safely relocated.

Using Swarmed to report a colony is free. Beekeepers may quote a fair price if the bees are difficult to reach or if it turns out to be an established hive, not a swarm.

Protecting local
pollinators

Our beekeeper members are ready to humanely remove a honey bee colony and relocate the bees to a managed hive.

Without a beekeeper fewer than 1 in 4 colonies survive. We connect you with a local beekeeper who can help these colonies thrive and pollinate billions of blossoms.
