Connect People and Beekeepers
We help homeowners report swarms and alert local beekeepers fast.
This protects bees, supports backyard biodiversity, and turns each swarm into a data point for science.
Support Outreach
We work with beekeepers to share educational materials and partner with local groups.
Our aim is to turn honey bee swarms into opportunities for learning and citizen science.
Share Swarm Data
We collect, organize, and publish swarm data for public use.
Our goal is to help scientists, educators, and land stewards make informed decisions about habitat, health, and biodiversity.
Report a Bee Swarm
Reporting bee hives and swarms to beekeepers
protect bees and your community.
1. Report a Swarm
Honey bee hives and swarms should always be handled by a beekeeper.
2. Beekeepers Respond
We alert local beekeepers who are happy to collect bees to strengthen their hives.
3. Bees Are Safely Relocated
The colony is carefully relocated to a managed beehive where it can thrive.
Biomonitoring with Bees
Swarms are how healthy colonies split and expand, but they're rarely recorded. By monitoring this overlooked behavior, we can share new insight into pollinator health and ecosystem resilience.
