OPINION: Sanity prevails in varroa management plan Opinion Property/Sports/Opinion - popup ad by News Of The Area - Modern Media - October 9, 2023 DEAR News Of The Area, FINALLY sanity prevails, stop killing our precious bees, manage the varroa mite instead! These hardworking bees not only give us a wonderful health product called honey but also pollinate our agricultural sector, without which our food production would come to a stand still! A healthy hive will be able to naturally manage the varroa mite, but a much deadlier threat are GMO crops, broad acre industrial farming, deforestation and chemical sprays! Until we address these environmental threats, our bees will continue to suffer! Also protect our Australian honey industry and ban import of inferior ‘sugar syrup’ which is mislabelled ‘honey’. Regards, Z. KOENIGSEDER Bellingen.
