A review is underway into the National Bee Pest Surveillance Program.
Australia is the only country yet to contract the destructive bee pest, the Varroa mite, unlike neighbouring countries such as New Zealand, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
However, Australia trades with these countries, and therefore there is a high risk that infected bees could travel by cargo ship and enter Australia undetected.
