The NSW Department of Primary Industries is pressing ahead with its plan to exterminate honeybees, but the deadly varroa mite is still being found in red zones.
The department said two new detections of the mite had occurred at Mulbring in the Hunter and Tumbi Umbi on the Central Coast. It said a program will begin to euthanise wild honeybees in the eradication zones in Calga, Somersby and Wyong.
