AgriFutures Honey Bee & Pollination Program Resilient Beekeeping in the face of Varroa series resources 2024
The 'Resilient beekeeping in the face of Varroa' aims to determine the best strategies to manage and control varroa in the Australian context, making projections about spread, and the likely effects on honeybee health and pollination services.
The Australian Honey Bee Industry Council (AHBIC), in partnership with AgriFutures Australia, has released a series of factsheets aimed at safeguarding the honey bee industry against the threats posed by varroa mite. The factsheets summarise what is known and the best path forward in terms of biosecurity, treatment and management, breeding, honey bee health, viruses and pollination continuation.
