Off-Season Active Bees? Join the Swarmed Network!

Winter might seem like a quiet time for beekeeping, but in many regions, bees are still active. In the warmer climates of states like Arizona and Florida, colonies can remain surprisingly busy, and that means opportunities for beekeepers to respond to swarm calls even in January.

Are you ready to expand your swarm collection season?

Why Join Swarmed?

  • Free Local Swarm Alerts: Get notified about nearby swarms in real-time. Our platform sends alerts directly to your phone, ensuring you don't miss out on valuable opportunities.
  • No Commitment: There are no membership fees or obligations. Use Swarmed as much or as little as you like.
  • Healthy Bees: Rescue swarms and give them a chance to thrive. Swarmed helps connect you with bees that need a home, contributing to colony health and genetic diversity.

We send out over 100,000 alerts each season, connecting beekeepers with swarms that might otherwise be missed. These rescues not only protect bees but also prevent unnecessary extermination.

Don't Miss Out on Winter Swarms

Even if you're in a region where winter is typically dormant, unseasonably warm days can trigger bee activity. Be prepared for these off-season swarms by joining the Swarmed network today. It's a free community resource and an easy way to expand your beekeeping opportunities and contribute to bee conservation.
