For associations
Swarmed for associations
How it works
A reporting form on your own site
You get an embed code for a Report a Swarm form carrying your association's name and logo. The public reports through a local group they already trust, and the swarm lands in Swarmed's routing rather than in a committee inbox. To try the form on your own website before relying on it, make a test link from your dashboard: a test report alerts no beekeepers, and your admins get an email marked TEST when it arrives.
Swarms routed to your members
Reports from your form go to your members. You decide whether they stay with your members only, or go to the wider Swarmed network when none of your members can be alerted.
Members join through your link or your website
Share a registration link, or put the beekeeper sign-up form on your own website with its embed code, and anyone signing up through either is tagged to your group automatically. Existing Swarmed beekeepers can join you from their own settings. No spreadsheet to maintain.
A dashboard for the group
See swarms reported across your region, which members are claiming them, response rates and average claim times, and manage members and admin roles.
What your members get
- Swarms reported through your form, before the wider network.
- Text and WhatsApp alerts, included with the association's membership rather than paid for individually.
- The full map and forecasting tools: history maps, daily likelihood, seasonal forecasts and trap placement.
- Privacy. Nobody has to publish a personal phone number on a public page again.
What it costs
Partnership is a yearly contribution, and your association chooses the amount. The minimum is $100 a year, and $300 is suggested. Contributions cover development, hosting, support, and the outreach work that gets swarms reported in the first place. You can change the amount or cancel from your own dashboard.
Getting started
Write to us and we will set up your form and walk your committee through it. Most associations are live within a week, usually limited by how quickly someone can paste an embed code into their website.
