A new varroa mite detection has been confirmed on the north coast of NSW, threatening the pollination of berries, avocados and macadamias.
The infested hives were found at a property in Nana Glen, northwest of Coffs Harbour, leading to another set of biosecurity zones for beekeepers and bringing the total of infected premises to 43.
Thirty-two hives have been destroyed at the property, with around 1800 hives now euthanised since the mite was first detected near the Port of Newcastle on June 22.
