Deadly #varroa #mite threatens half of Canberra’s #beehives.
The varroa mite, is expected to wipe out half of the #ACT's 6,000 #bee hives within two years, putting local #fruit & #vegetable #crops at #risk.
Varroa mites are 1 to 2 millimetre-long parasites that attach to honey bees, eventually killing the bees and their colonies.
The ACT's first infestation was found in a hive in Kowen in April this year. #auspol #apiarist #BeeKeepers

First detected in South Australia's Riverland region in September, the #varroamite has since been found in numerous sites across the state, including the Limestone Coast, the Adelaide Hills and the Fleurieu Peninsula.
The number of detections has increased in recent weeks.
President of the #Beekeepers Society of SA, Bob Beer, said everyone was on high alert.
"The mite's move into the state has always been a case of not if, but when," he said.

An Asian hornet explosion leaves Alsace beekeepers fighting for their hives.
Beekeepers in eastern France are racing to contain an explosion in numbers of Asian hornets since 2023 that is devastating hives.
The yellow-legged hornet first arrived in France in 2004, but only reached the Haut-Rhin in 2023. It is now firmly entrenched.

Have any of my fellow #beekeepers got one of these new EpiPen-replacing epinephrine nasal spray things to carry around in case anyone gets stung and shows signs of anaphylaxis? Been thinking of getting my doc to prescribe one for me. Having an EpiPen is a requirement to become an #OSU Master Beekeeper, too. #beekeeping
A wild (ridiculous) one for this week's #GrindayFriday. I listened to this one a lot this week-- I just kept coming back to it. Asheville, North Carolina's SLUMGUM is 'hive grind' - that is, grindcore made by a beekeeper - and yes, all songs on Slumgum's self-titled debut are bee themed. Love the brutal, bizarre sounds and riffs on this one. Powerviolence vocals here and there. The intro of 'Drone Expulsion' always makes my ears perk up. A very strange one if you enjoy the very strange.

In the face of colony collapse, some #beekeepers are foregoing insecticides and opting instead to breed bees with mite-resistant behaviors

We had a swarm of bees show up and set themselves up on one of our tables. Not to worry, though! A bee keeper was called, and the bees humanely relocated. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
