Note: Varroa mite is now in Australia and we have transitioned to management. This will NOT be added to this course. We highly recommend you keep up to date with your local department as to the evolving varroa requirements in your state. This course offers other disease and biosecurity checks but varroa is a completely new pest to manage for all aussie beekeepers.
Here is the link to Australian Honey Bee Industry Corporation that governs all treatments and provides all state regulations for varroa management. Please make time to review the every changing situation. https://honeybee.org.au/varroa...
