Varroa mite detected at Mulbring, Tumbi Umbi

BY DAKOTA TAIT

Two new varroa mite incidents have been detected across the Hunter and Central Coast.

The findings at hives at Mulbring and Tumbi Umbi mean the eradication and emergency zone has yet again been expanded.

The Department of Primary Industries is now contact tracing the latest detections, but is confident the situation is under control.

106 infestations have now been detected since the first report at the Port of Newcastle in June.
