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.
