Varroa emergency worsens despite bee extermination response

The Department of Primary Industries (DPI) has confirmed that despite efforts to stop the spread of the destructive Varroa mite new detections have been reported within existing emergency zones.

Since the detection in St Albans three weeks ago, the mite has spread further to various locations, including Mangrove Mountain, Brookfield, Umina Beach, Bateau Bay, Booral, Maroota, Stroud Road, Main Creek, Bandon Grove, and Glenorie. These detections mean that the red emergency zone (10kms) and the purple surveillance zone (25kms) are extended.
