Road trains transport millions of WA bees to varroa-affected SA.

Millions of healthy bees from Western Australia are being transported to South Australia to assist in pollinating almond trees. The varroa mite has severely affected both wild and managed bee populations in the eastern states, leading to a shortage in pollination services.

WA beekeepers are advocating for enhanced biosecurity measures due to rising concerns about the mite's potential effects on food security.
