Australia is an island. It enjoys what is probably the best agricultural and biological separation of any place on the planet. As such, we don't have a LOT of the pests, diseases and problems that plague other parts of the planet, including Nth America, Europe, and Asia.
One of the benefits of our isolation has been that we have enjoyed freedom from many of the pests that infest the bee populations in Nth America and Europe.
Australia has been the only inhabited continent in the world free from Varroa mites. Until 2022.
The mites are everywhere, and have been for decades now.
No in Australia.

With the WEF attempting to destroy non-corporate agriculture everywhere, this new occurrence is highly suspicious.
