Just heard through a friend, who got the information through Austrian scientist. I think this is true, but would like to hear more directly to belive it to be 100 % sure. But most likely this is.

Small hive beetle was found in Portugal 7th of October 2004. The beetle was in hives that had bees illeagally imported from USA. The hives have been destroyed + the surrounding area desinfected. The local officials think that beetles did not have time to spread around, but that remains to be seen.
