Beekeeping associations and clubs sit at an odd intersection: part membership organization, part working farm records. Most software picks one side. ApiaryBase is built for both, at one honest price.
Every beekeeping association we've talked to is running on the same patchwork: a membership spreadsheet, a separate dues spreadsheet, a paper or PDF inspection log, an email thread for events, and a hope that whoever holds all of it doesn't move away before handing it off cleanly. That patchwork works, until it doesn't — a board turnover loses the dues history, a treasurer's laptop dies with the only copy of the roster, or a state association wants loss-survey data nobody has time to compile by hand.
ApiaryBase replaces that patchwork with one system — built specifically for the shape of a beekeeping organization, not adapted from generic membership software or a solo hive-tracking app. The goal is simple: your board spends its time on beekeeping, not on spreadsheet maintenance.
$25/month or $275/year covers your entire association — 12 members or 4,000. We won't introduce per-seat pricing or paywall a feature you're already using.
When an organization subscribes, every member gets free hive management software for their own apiaries. That doesn't change as the product grows.
The Research API exists to get de-identified, opt-in colony data into the hands of the Bee Informed Partnership, USDA APHIS, and university programs — not to build a data product we sell.
Treasurers, secretaries, and club presidents are usually volunteers doing this alongside a full-time job. The product's job is to take work off their plate, not add a new tool to learn.
ApiaryBase is made in Fort Collins, Colorado, and used by beekeeping clubs and associations across the US and Canada. Questions, feedback, or a club we should know about — hello@apiarybase.com.
