What is a swarm?
Swarming is how honey bee colonies reproduce. Thousands of bees leave their hive with their queen to find a new home, a hollow tree, a wall cavity, or wherever their scouts lead them. If you spot one clustered somewhere it shouldn't be, stay calm. They're not aggressive. Report it free on Swarmed and a local beekeeper will take it from there.
Not sure what you're looking at? Report it anyway. Whether it's honey bees, wasps, hornets, or bumble bees, we'll help point you in the right direction.
Using Swarmed is free. Beekeepers may quote a fair price if the bees are hard to reach or if it turns out to be an established hive rather than a swarm.

Protecting local
pollinators
Our beekeeper network is ready to provide bee-friendly removal and relocation of honey bee colonies to managed hives where they can thrive.
According to Dr. Thomas Seeley's research at Cornell University (The Lives of Bees, Princeton University Press, 2019), fewer than 1 in 4 swarms survive on their own. A local beekeeper changes those odds entirely, keeping those colonies alive and pollinating 1 trillion blooms.
Citizen Science for Honey Bees
Every report helps us understand where and when swarms happen. We've mapped over 17,000 swarms across North America, and we use that research to build practical tools for beekeepers: seasonal swarm forecasts, regional activity maps, and local trend insights to help their colonies thrive.
Built for Beekeepers
Get free text, WhatsApp, or email alerts the moment a swarm or cutout is reported near you. We've sent over 300,000 alerts to beekeepers while keeping your data private and giving you seasonal insights into local swarm activity.
