I am asking you folks from Oz, Is your continent still Varroa Mite free? I will add hopefully so..
Phillip
Yes...so far.
Our governmnet allows now the import of honey.
I wonder if this is the way we will get those mites?
About 15 years ago we got SHB and nobody knows how they came in
They probably came in the same way the other parasites come into this country. Our honey competitors bring them here. We had too many come in too fast to bee natural.
