BEE READY: Plant Health Australia’s Dr Jenny Shanks says farmers need to take the threat of the varroa destructor mite seriously and recognise it’s impacts on pollination.

The latest project is a series of videos available on YouTube and the BeeAware website, to explain the threat posed by Varroa destructor to Australian honey bees, how beekeepers can best protect their apiaries from pests, and the likely implications for plant producers.
