15) Varroa and VSH Australia
Varroa has been detected in the almond pollination in Australia. In this episode I interview Matt Petersen, Richard Sims and Corinne Jordan about Varroa and VSH. The interviews that are in this episode were recorded on the 1st and 2nd of September 2023. It's likely that the situation will change quickly after the release of this episode.
UPDATE - Since this episode aired the Australian government has changed our approach to varroa from eradication to management.
