Varroa ILO Report 28th August.

28 Aug 2023 9:40 PM | Andrew Wootton (Administrator)

The situation on the ground is that there are now two IP Sites in NSW at Balranald and Euston in the Southwest . Both have significant areas which fall under the special protection areas in Victoria. See the AgVic web site for the latest maps. There are approximately 55000 hives affected by a quarantine order at the moment in Victoria and cannot be moved at this time. All bees that have been moved prior to the declaration of the outbreak on Friday need to register their destination. VAA has emphasised the urgency of the situation and AgVic are well aware of the need to make a quick decision. A meeting is scheduled for tomorrow. All beekeepers who are affected need to be patient as we are aware that this is a major time in your yearly calendar. AgVic are hosting daily meetings and setting up an Emergency Control Team to co-ordinate operations. I will have more to report tomorrow.
Regards Phil Mcpherson, ILO
