Adding your details for the first time
To add your details to the swarm register you must be a current member of the ABA, and a registered beekeeper.
Go to beekeepers.asn.au/sign-in.
Click ABA Portal
Enter your email address and password
If it’s your first time to login or you forgot the password use the “Password (forgot?) link to reset your password
Click “Swarm Collector”
Note the “Swarm Collector” setting:
With this set to “yes” your message will be shown when one of your listed postcodes is searched by a member of the public looking for a swarm collector.
Changing it to “no” will keep your swarm message and elected post codes on record but not reveal your message when a person with a swarm searches on one of your listed postcodes.
The public view will display your name, location and phone number, so there is no need to include them in the Swarm Message.
Enter up to ten postcodes where you are willing to collect swarms..
Press Submit to save your changes. Your details will be live on the website immediately.
Note that the ABA requires your message to indicate any nominal charge for expenses you may make. No advertising of any form is permitted.
