[QUOTE="Josethayil, post: 14018, member: 421"] Maybe Australia can get some VSH genetics in to help with the Varroa issue. Plenty of off shore Islands to quarantine and test before bringing it to mainland. [B]A quick google search brought this up.[/B] [ATTACH type="full" alt="VSH and The Selective Breeding of Bees To Fight Varroa ..."]1883[/ATTACH] Importing Varroa Sensitive Hygienic (VSH) bees into Australia is strictly regulated. Whole live bees can only enter through the official federal quarantine process, restricted to approved countries like the US, Canada, EU, Japan, and New Zealand. Consignments must go to the Post Entry Quarantine facility in Mickleham, Victoria, where only grafted larvae/queen cells—not the imported adults—are eventually released.
