The domain may be registered in Australia, but they are located in 
Ohio.   Looks like they just found a host for the online store.     
Location of the host often has little to do with where the business is 
located  (My site is hosted in California though I'm in Ohio, for example).

I believe the product he's selling is the same as "Bee Calmer" which was 
formerly called "Mite Solution" by Tuttle Apiaries.  Tuttle has been in 
trouble a couple of times by the EPA for marketing it as a pesticide 
without the appropriate testing and approval.   The story I've heard is 
he has changed the claims to avoid the very expensive testing

If I recall, one of the court documents I've read indicates the primary 
components of the Jell are petroleum jelly (95%) and tea tree oil 
(5%).   No idea if any other ingredients are in the product.
