Deadly varroa mite threatens half of Canberra’s beehives (www.abc.net.au)

Varroa mite is expected to infest ACT beehives and destroy about half of them over the next two years.

The resulting drop in pollinators will affect local fruit and vegetable production.

The ACT government is urging beekeepers to register hives and adopt strategies to help colonies survive.
