[QUOTE="npomeroy, post: 11390, member: 599"] I've just been for a winter break in Cairns, and [I]Apis cerana[/I] the small Asian honeybee seemed common there. I thought it was the Varroa host species in Asia. I don't know if the Aussie population has Varroa but it could surely act as a reservoir if the outbreak spread North. Edit: I see [I]Apis cerana [/I]is considered an invasive exotic species in Oz, and indeed Varroa infested specimens were identified in 2016. This appears to be quite separate from the [I]A mellifera [/I]outbreak further South, but surely is not a good thing...
