I’m guessing it’s too many hobby farmers and anti government/homesteading types who don’t understand the seriousness of this shit, it’s like Covid all over again. Plus I’d heard feral bee colonies were an issue too.

But I’m surprised you didn’t know it was here, if it’s a topic of interest? Varroa mite was big news earlier this year when it was first detected in NSW, the reporting was rather dire.
