Switching tactics from eradication to "managing" the varroa bee mite threat to Australia's honey producers was described by the ACT's Environment Minister as a sobering reminder of the relentless march of invasive species across Australia.
Backing the position of the national Greens in a statement issued on Thursday, ACT Environment Minister and Greens member Rebecca Vassarotti said the modification of the $132 million varroa mite eradication plan was "yet another sobering reminder of the ongoing extinction crisis taking hold across our nation."
