# Swarmed for associations

 Most associations run swarm collection off a published phone list and one very patient coordinator. Swarmed replaces that with a form on your own website and automatic alerts to your members, without taking the swarms away from your group.

## How it works

- 1 ### 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.
- 2 ### Swarms routed to your members Reports from your form go to your members. You decide whether they stay with your group only, or open to the wider Swarmed network if nobody claims them, which is usually the right call for a swarm nobody is going to reach in time.
- 3 ### Members join through your link Share a registration link and anyone signing up through it is tagged to your group automatically. Existing Swarmed beekeepers can join you from their own settings. No spreadsheet to maintain.
- 4 ### 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, built on 20,000+ swarm reports: 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 runs on a pay-what-you-want basis. There are no mandatory fees and associations choose their own annual contribution based on their size and resources. 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

 Email [info@beeswarmed.org](mailto:info@beeswarmed.org) 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.

## More help

- Beekeepers Getting started as a beekeeper Create an account, set the area you will travel for a swarm, and choose how you want to hear about one.
- Beekeepers Swarm alerts and claiming Who gets alerted and in what order, what a report tells you before you claim, and what happens once you do.
- Beekeepers Beekeeper questions The questions beekeepers ask most, from what it costs to whether there is an app.
- Associations Swarmed for associations Put a reporting form on your own site, route those swarms to your members, and see what your group is catching.
- Reporting a swarm Is bee removal free? Collecting a swarm is usually free. Getting an established colony out of a wall or roof usually is not. Here is the difference.
