Hi All Recently, the former Presidents of the two local Bee Associations I attend stated at our meetings that Australia has varroa. I told them that while Oz is having an issue with Apis Ceranae in Queensland, that I don't believe that varroa has been detected yet. I believe that Canadian imports of queens and packages are still on for 2011 even though the US has banned them. Could anyone with current facts update us on the situation, and also small hive beetle situation in areas that would normally ship here.
