Varroa Mite Update - what's happening with both our honey and native bees
Show Notes

Dani and Patrice update Varroa Mite’s control in New South Wales. Dani’s honeybees in the red zone are dead. Her native-bees have moved to safer ground. You won’t be seeing honey bees in the Newcastle area for some time.

Production: Lucienne Joy.
Music:  Heidi Prichard.

Patrice’s bees are an important part of her biodynamic farm Elmswood in the Upper Hunter Valley, NSW. She sells honey during a good honey flow season, available www.patricenewell.com.au.

Dani’s bees live around Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and next to Mt Royal NP.  Dani is a bee researcher and educator who co-authored the 'Australian Native Bees' AgGuide and runs courses and coaching for women keen to finesse their beekeeping skills.
