Bee populations are increasingly under pressure from parasites, habitat loss, and disease.
Swarmed tackles how beekeepers and the public respond to honey bee swarms, ensuring they are rescued, not lost or exterminated.
Often an unwelcome nuisance to the public, bee swarms are a valuable resource for beekeepers.
When someone reports a bee swarm, Swarmed notifies local beekeepers, helping them to coordinate to retrieve the swarm, often within half an hour.
Hundreds of beekeepers across the U.S. and the world have joined the service, but the challenge now is getting the word out to the public as widely as possible, and educating people on what to do when they spot a swarm.
Hope you'll check out our work supporting pollinators!

@aris_nakos Thanks! Over 100 in the last couple of weeks but we're just getting started. A couple of big beekeeping associations are joining the service in the coming weeks.
I've been working to collect success stories and will be sharing some soon!
