In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady delves into the innovative efforts of Swarmed, a platform dedicated to rescuing and rehoming honey bee swarms. Amidst alarming reports of record hive losses, Swarmed's recent crowdfunding campaign achieved its funding goal in under 24 hours, underscoring the urgent need for effective solutions to protect these essential pollinators. The platform connects public reports of bee swarms with local beekeepers, facilitating over 2,000 successful rescues to date. This initiative not only aids in preserving bee populations but also enhances biodiversity and supports agricultural sustainability.
Swarmed's successful Kickstarter campaign will enable the development of advanced tools for beekeepers, including predictive Swarm Likelihood Maps, Real-Time Mobile Alerts, and a Bee Friendliness Map. These tools aim to improve response times and assess local pollinator ecosystem health. As swarm season approaches, Swarmed continues to offer lifetime memberships and early access to new features for backers.
