Bee varroa mite outbreak detected in NSW, page-4

Yes fingers crossed. I see a more recent update today;

Almond Board of Australia chief executive Tim Jackson said a pollination working group was on stand-by in case the situation escalated.

"It's bordering on a biosecurity crisis," he said.

"We're hoping that this measure of a standstill for the next five to seven days will allow New South Wales authorities to get on top of and contain the varroa mite infestation.

"Then there'll be no need for the working group as these will be able to be transported to the orchard through the three states."

So going to be an even madder rush than usual when that gets lifted.

Also really sad for people who have hives in the exclusion zone, having to destroy all your hives would be very depressing indeed.
