Deadly #varroa #mite threatens half of Canberra’s #beehives.
The varroa mite, is expected to wipe out half of the #ACT's 6,000 #bee hives within two years, putting local #fruit & #vegetable #crops at #risk.
Varroa mites are 1 to 2 millimetre-long parasites that attach to honey bees, eventually killing the bees and their colonies.
The ACT's first infestation was found in a hive in Kowen in April this year. #auspol #apiarist #BeeKeepers

#Varroa mite detected in #SouthAustralia for first time!
The discovery was made in a #beehive at #Pooginook in the state's Riverland during routine surveillance by PIRSA inspectors.
The infested hive is believed to have originated in a consignment of hives from Queensland. #auspol #bees #apiarist
