The data dashboard is now live inside Map View for Contributors, lifetime supporters, and members of partner associations. It gives you four tools built on Swarmed's complete swarm database and daily weather analysis, plus your personal impact stats.
Standard accounts see a preview page describing each tool with an indicator showing what data is available for their specific area. Upgrade to Contributor in Settings to unlock the full dashboard.
Shows every swarm ever reported to Swarmed as a dot on the map — over 17,000 reports going back to 2022, plus older historical records. Zoom out and the dots merge into a smooth heatmap showing where swarm activity concentrates in your area. Zoom in and individual dots reappear. Click any dot to see the photo, date, status, and details of that specific report.
For swarm dots within your alert radius, the map shows why you were or weren't notified — whether the swarm was reported before you joined Swarmed, sent only to an association you're not part of, claimed during the priority notification window before your alert went out, or filtered by your notification settings.
A timeline scrubber at the top lets you replay how swarm activity built up in your area over different time windows.
How to use it: Find the recurring hotspots in your area. Bright clusters on the heatmap show where swarms appear repeatedly — these are the best locations to place swarm traps.
Every morning the system calculates a swarm likelihood score from 0 to 100 for every monitored location and shows them as a colored hex grid on the map. Green means quiet conditions, yellow means building, orange means active, red means surge.
The score combines weather (80% of the total) with habitat (20%). Weather factors: accumulated seasonal warmth since January 1st (Growing Degree Days), today's temperature, solar radiation, recent warm days, whether it is raining, and recent swarm activity in your region. Habitat factors: historical swarm density at that specific location, how many registered beekeepers are within 3km, and mature tree canopy cover from satellite data.
Your personal gauge in the sidebar shows today's score for your specific location with a breakdown of what is driving it. If your area is coming off three or more days of cold or rain, a surge alert appears — these are the days when accumulated colony pressure releases at once and swarm activity spikes.
Scores update every morning. Risk levels: Quiet (below 40), Building (40-49), Active (50-84), Surge (85+).
How to use it: Check the gauge each morning during swarm season. Active or Surge means get your traps checked. A Surge alert after a rainy stretch is the most important signal — be ready early that morning.
Shows how your region's current swarm season is tracking against the historical average for your county or state. A chart shows the typical monthly distribution of swarms alongside how this year has developed month by month, with a Now marker separating what has already happened from the projected rest of the year through December. Two stat blocks below show expected versus actual year-to-date totals with a status: Above Average, On Track, or Below Average.
For most U.S. regions, a Season timing card also compares when this year's swarm season started versus prior years, so you can see whether swarming is running early or late in your area.
Based on Swarmed's historical swarm report database for your region. Updates every Monday morning.
