[QUOTE="John B, post: 12851, member: 207"] Varoa, small hive beetle and European foul brood. Australian beekeepers are looking at increased costs, increased workloads and every year you have varoa it gets just a little bit worse.Eradication at any cost would still be far cheaper in the long term. I can't believe they burnt hives. Could have gassed them and kept them in cold storage. My message to Australian beekeepers would be that you can live with varoa but they all need to have a close look at what they are doing and whether living with varoa will cripple them financially. Keeping bees with varoa can sometimes feel like death by a thousand cuts. [/QUOTE]
