Recent News:Victoria concludes precautionary surveillance for varroa mite detectionAgriculture Victoria’s varroa mite surveillance has concluded six weeks after the bee parasite was detected in cargo at the Port of Melbourne that had been unloaded from a ship. The State Quarantine Response Team, comprising of members of the beekeeping community, worked alongside Agriculture Victoria’s Incident Management Team (IMT) to conduct bee hive surveillance following the detection. The team conducted four rounds of surveillance in every known hive within a two-kilometre radius of the Port of Melbourne detection. With no further detections of varroa mite, Agriculture Victoria has today stood down its IMT. Click here for a more detailed media release.
