SwarmLine is coming to Aotearoa this spring.
Spot a swarm of honeybees? Send us a photo — we identify what you're looking at (honeybees, bumblebees or wasps) and get a local beekeeper moving. Collection is free, the bees get a new home, and a beekeeper gains a colony.
And if it turns out to be wasps — as it so often does here — we'll tell you straight away and point you to the right help, so no beekeeper gets called out to a wasp nest.
Beekeeper, club or pest professional? We're launching for the 2026/27 swarm season — register now and be first on the collector list when the swarms start. No spam, just the launch email.
We'll only use this to tell you about the NZ launch. Nothing is shared, ever.
The whole thing, start to finish
This is the service as it runs in the UK today — and how it'll work here. A reporter sends a photo; a beekeeper gets the call. Pick a scenario and watch it play out.
