SA Varroa mite – Adelaide Hills community update (Gumeracha)

Join us for an exclusive face-to-face event where we will be discussing the latest updates on Varroa and information around South Australia’s recent detections. This live event is designed specifically for the Adelaide Hills region.

This event is free to attend and is presented by PIRSA Varroa Development Officers (VDO’s).

Please register for this event through eventbrite. Registration is a must to assist us with catering and venue logistics.

We’ll cover:

• The basics and quick review of Varroa mite biology and behaviour.
• Discuss the impacts to the European Honeybee Apis mellifera.
• Information on the recent detections confirmed across the state and specifically in the Adelaide Hills.
• We’ll share valuable information on how to protect your beehives and tips around IPM (Integrated Pest Management), not necessarily Varroa specific.

The update will feature live in-person presentations and a Q&A session where you can ask our experts any burning questions you may have. This is a fantastic opportunity to stay informed and connected with the Adelaide Hills beekeeping community.
