The Problem

Varroa mite has reached Australia and is the worst biosecurity crisis in Australian beekeeping history. New Zealand lost almost all of its feral honey bee colonies after Varroa established there. Australia is on the same path.

When feral colonies die out, the free pollination Australian farms have relied on for generations goes with them. Farmers will need managed hives to keep crops growing. That is an unexpected cost on top of diesel up 88% and fertiliser that has doubled in price. Most farmers are not prepared for it.

$12.9 billion worth of Australian crops depend on bee pollination every year. Almonds, apples, cherries, avocados, blueberries, and stone fruit are all heavily reliant on bees. Every cost on the farm ends up at the checkout. Fewer bees means lower yields, tighter supply, and higher prices for the food you buy every week.
